So, you are working with cyclone iii as I understood for your project requirement, and I direct give you the exact info. on cyclone iii>>>https://www.altera.com/en_us/pdfs/literature/hb/cyc3/cyc3_ciii51016.pdf ; pg78 the flow chart already indicate you can't load app 2 directly from app 1, but you can from app 1 reload a different application which start back from factory configuration through set the register, this is basically restarting the whole process since beginning.

But for Arria 10, yes you can do so, because after loading app 1 and at user mode, you can direct jump to load app 2.
