Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tube (13.8 oz) refrigerated pizza dough
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 medium, peeled and thinly sliced apples (e.g., granny smith or honeycrisp)
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 pinch ground nutmeg
- 1 cup caramel sauce
- 4 ounces, softened cream cheese
- 1.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet or pizza pan with parchment paper.
Roll out the refrigerated pizza dough into a 12-inch circle and place it on the prepared pan.
In a small bowl, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it over the surface of the dough.
In another small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the buttered dough.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until it is golden and slightly crisp. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
While the crust bakes, prepare the apples. Heat a medium skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter.
Add the sliced apples, brown sugar, flour, and a pinch of ground nutmeg to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, or until the apples are tender and caramelized. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and milk until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the cooked apple slices evenly over the cream cheese layer.
Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the top of the apples.
Cut the dessert pizza into slices and serve immediately. Enjoy your Caramel Apple Dessert Pizza!
