1. In large microwaveable bowl, mix cereals and walnuts.
2. In medium sauce pan melt brown sugar, butter, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, stir frequently, until smooth and bubbly. Pour over cereal mixture; stir until evenly coated.
3. Microwave uncovered on High 4 minutes, stirring after each minute. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool. Sprinkle apples evenly over cereal mixture.
4. In small microwaveable bowl, microwave white chocolate chips uncovered on High about 20 seconds or until chips can be stirred smooth. Drizzle over half of the cereal mixture. Drizzle melted caramels over the other half. Let stand until set (I put it in the freezer for 30 minutes). Break into bite-size pieces. Store in airtight container.
