This Caramel Apple Dessert Pizza is a delightful treat combining the flavors of caramel, apples, and a sweet cookie crust.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Roll out the sugar cookie dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a baking sheet.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Bake the cookie crust for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Let it cool completely.
Cooling the crust ensures the topping spreads smoothly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, cream cheese, brown sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Use a hand mixer for a smoother consistency.
Spread the creamy mixture evenly over the cooled cookie crust.
Ensure an even layer for consistent flavor.
Slice the apples thinly and soak them in the lemon-lime soda for 5 minutes to prevent browning. Drain well.
Pat the apple slices dry to avoid excess moisture.
Arrange the apple slices in a spiral pattern over the creamy topping.
Start from the outer edge and work inward for a neat presentation.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon over the apples and drizzle with caramel sauce.
Warm the caramel sauce slightly for easier drizzling.
Slice and serve your Caramel Apple Dessert Pizza. Enjoy!
Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
