Taffy Apple Pizza

I used to make this all the time and it was always a huge hit. Honestly, I am not sure if I can think of a better back to school treat!


Taffy Apple Pizza
(PChef)

1-10 oz. package of refrigerated sugar cookie dough

1 pk 8oz cream cheese softened

1/4 cup Creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup Brown sugar

1/2 tsp Vanilla

2 med Granny smith apples

1 cup Lemon lime soda

Cinnamon

1/4 cup Caramel ice cream topping

1/2 cup Chopped peanuts



Preheat oven to 350F. Shape cookie dough into a ball. Place dough in center of pizza pan; flatten slightly with palm of hand. Roll dough out to 14" circle, about a 1/4" thick. Bake 16-18 minutes. Cool 10 minutes. Carefully loosen cookie from sheet with serrated knife; cool completely. Combine cream cheese, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla; mix well. Spread mixture evenly over top of cookie. Arrange apples evenly over cream cheese mixture; sprinkle with cinnamon. To heat caramel topping, microwave on HIGH 30-45 sec or until warm; drizzle over apples. Sprinkle nuts on top.

NOTES : Dip apples in lemon-lime soda to prevent them from turning brown. ( I find a cheap can works the best.)
