Taffy Apple Pizza

• 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, unpacked
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 medium granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
• 1 cup carbonated lemon-lime beverage (optional)
• ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
• 1/4 chopped peanuts (optional)

Preheat oven to 350.

Lay cookie slices on pizza pan to bake together into a crust. Bake 16-18 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove from oven; cool 10 minutes.

Combine peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla.

Spread over cooled cookie crust.

Cut apples into slices or small pieces and arrange or spread over crust.

Microwave ice cream topping 30-45 seconds or until warm, drizzle evenly over apples.

Sprinkle chopped peanuts and cinnamon over apples.

Cut pizza into wedges.

Tips:

Dip apple slices in lemon-lime flavored soda or lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

You can cut slices first and let everyone put their own toppings on
