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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cooled sugar cookie crust, leaving a slight border around the edges to resemble a pizza crust.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apples in a zig-zag pattern or to your desired design.
Step 7
Sprinkle the chopped peanuts over the caramel, if desired, for added crunch and flavor.
Step 8
Refrigerate the taffy apple pizza for at least 30 minutes to set. Slice into wedges and serve chilled.
