Taffy Apple Pizza

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)

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Serves: 16
• Yields: 1 12-inch pizza

Ingredients

• 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!
