Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim and flute the edges as desired.
In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth. Add the caramel sauce, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pie crust.
In a separate bowl, toss the sliced Granny Smith apples with granulated sugar and ground cinnamon until they are well coated.
Layer the apple slices neatly over the cream cheese filling in the pie crust.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine heavy whipping cream and any remaining caramel sauce. Stir until the mixture is smooth and warm, then drizzle half of it over the apples.
Loosely cover the pie with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool to room temperature.
Before serving, sprinkle the chopped pecans over the cooled pie. Top with whipped topping and drizzle the remaining caramel-cream sauce over the top.
Refrigerate any leftovers and enjoy within 2-3 days.
