Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C).
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add the flour and salt to the wet ingredients and mix until a dough forms. If needed, use your hands to bring the dough together.
Roll out the dough into a large circle (about 12 inches in diameter) on a piece of parchment paper.
Transfer the parchment paper with the dough onto a baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly golden. Allow it to cool completely.
In a medium bowl, beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the cooled cookie crust, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the fresh fruit on top of the cream cheese layer in a decorative pattern.
For an optional glaze, heat the apricot preserves and water in a small saucepan over low heat until melted. Brush the glaze lightly over the fruit to add shine and preserve freshness.
Chill the fruit pizza in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before slicing and serving.
