Taffy Apple Pizza

Sharon123's Note:

A Pampered Chef winner! One of my favorites. The crust is sugar cookie dough! Did you know taffy originated in Germany? And apples are used extensively in Germany too! I guess that makes this a German recipe!(lol)

• Total Time: 30 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Serves: 16

Yield: 1.0 12-inch ...

• 1 (18 ounce) package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 medium granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 cup carbonated lemon-lime beverage
• ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping

Directions:

1. Put sliced apples into the lemon-lime soda to soak so they won't brown.
2. Preheat oven to 350*.
3. Roll cookie dough into a 12-inch circle on a 13" baking stone that has been lightly floured.
4. Bake approximately 5 minutes longer than directions on package say. (My package says 10-12 minutes, so bake about 15 minutes.).
5. Let cool.
6. In a bowl, mix peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.
7. Spread over cooled cookie crust.
8. Then drain apples and arrange in a spiral, to cover entire "pizza".
9. Srinkle with cinnamon and pour over caramel topping.
10. It's ready to serve!
11. Enjoy!

The kids and I made this over the weekend. What fun we had. Tasted awesome. Cookie dough crust and peanut butter went together well and had a very rich taste. We all thought the "pizza" was delicious and would definitely make again. Thanks for posting.

Well to say the least there are no leftovers..WOW!! Made recipe as posted and the kids and I absolutely enjoyed it. I did take the idea of another reviewer, and soaked the apples in 7 -up. If anyone like myself, lives in apple country, like I do in Indiana you have to try this. Very kid friendly, and adult too. Made for Zaar Stars.
