Description

This Caramel Apple Sugar Cookie Pizza is a delightful dessert featuring a soft sugar cookie crust topped with a creamy caramel cheesecake spread, juicy sliced apples, and crunchy chopped cashews, all drizzled with rich caramel sauce. Perfect for a festive fall treat or any sweet occasion, this easy-to-make pizza-style dessert combines comforting flavors and textures in every bite.

Ingredients

Cookie Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough (16.5 ounces)

Caramel Cheesecake Topping

  • 1 package cream cheese, softened (8 ounces)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • ¼ cup caramel sauce

Toppings

  • 4 ½ cups sliced apples (about 4 medium apples)
  • ½ cup chopped cashews
  • 3 tablespoons caramel sauce, for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking surface: Line a 15-inch round baking sheet or pizza stone with parchment paper. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Form and bake the cookie crust: Open the package of sugar cookie dough and press it evenly onto the parchment paper, shaping it into a 12-inch circle using the heel of your hand. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until lightly golden and set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  3. Make the caramel cheesecake topping: While the crust bakes and cools, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and ¼ cup caramel sauce together in a mixing bowl. Blend for about 3-5 minutes until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Assemble the pizza: Once the cookie crust has cooled, spread the caramel cheesecake mixture evenly over the top. Arrange the sliced apples evenly over the cream cheese layer.
  5. Add nuts and caramel drizzle: Sprinkle the chopped cashews over the apples. Drizzle the remaining 3 tablespoons of caramel sauce generously over the entire pizza.
  6. Serve: Slice and serve immediately or chill briefly to let flavors meld before serving. Enjoy a perfect fall dessert that combines sweet, tart, creamy, and crunchy textures.

Notes

  • Use a sharp knife or a pizza cutter for clean slices.
  • Choose crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for a nice balance of tartness and sweetness.
  • For extra flavor, lightly toast the chopped cashews before sprinkling.
  • Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • If preferred, substitute cashews with walnuts or pecans.
