Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16.5 ounces Refrigerated sugar cookie dough
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 medium Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Caramel sauce
- 0.5 cup Chopped peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
Press the sugar cookie dough evenly into the prepared pan to form the pizza crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool completely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, leaving a slight border around the edges to resemble a pizza crust.
Thinly slice the apples and toss them with the lemon juice to prevent browning. Arrange the apple slices decoratively on top of the cream cheese layer.
Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apples in a zig-zag pattern or to your desired design.
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the caramel, if desired, for added crunch and flavor.
Refrigerate the taffy apple pizza for at least 30 minutes to set. Slice into wedges and serve chilled.
