Ingredients
1pouch of Betty Crocker sugar cookie mixplus 1 stick of butter & 1 egg to make the dough
1(8 oz) package of cream cheese
1 1/3cuppowdered sugar
1/3cupbrown sugar
2tspvanilla
2large Granny Smith apples
1tbspjuice from 1 fresh lemon
1tub of prepared caramel apple dip from the produce section
1/2cupchopped Rolo candies
1/2cupchopped Heath bar bits
Instructions
Bake the Sugar Cookie Crust
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prepare the sugar cookie mix according to the package instructions.
Drop the dough onto a pizza stone and roll it out smoothly to form the round pizza crust.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and crispy. Let it cool completely before topping with frosting.
Make the Cream Cheese Icing
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese and sugars together until smooth.
Add the vanilla and continue to beat until the filling is light and smooth. Spread evenly over the pizza crust.
Assemble the Taffy Apple Pizza
Chop the green apples into small bite-sized chunks. Add the apples to a clean mixing bowl and gently toss with 1 tbsp of the lemon juice. This will help keep the apples from turning brown. Sprinkle the apples evenly over the top of the pizza.
Spoon several large dollops of caramel apple dip into a plastic baggie. Snip a tiny corner from the bag and use it to pipe the caramel in a pretty pattern over the pizza.
Sprinkle the Rolo candies and Heath bits over the top of the pizza.
Store the pizza in the fridge until ready to serve. Tastes best the day you make it.
Recipe Notes
This is an extremely chewy apple pizza dessert. You may want to let it rest at room temperture for 10 minutes before serving so the caramel candies have a chance to slightly soften.
