TAFFY APPLE PIZZA

• 1 packet Caramel Apple Dip Mix
• 1 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1/3 cup peanut butter*
• 1 large tart apple**, unpeeled and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup chopped peanuts, optional

*To measure peanut butter, spray measuring cup with cooking spray before filling for easy removal.

**To prevent apples from browning, mix 3 tablespoons of lemon juice and 1 cup of water. Immediately place sliced apples into mixture and allow to soak for 5 minutes. Allow apple slices to drain on a paper towel before placing on pizza.

Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray pizza pan with cooking spray. With lightly floured hands, pat cookie dough onto pizza pan. Bake at 350° for 12 to 14 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool. In mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, peanut butter and Caramel Apple Dip Mix until well blended and creamy. Spread over cooled cookie crust. Arrange sliced apples in pinwheel pattern on top. Sprinkle with peanuts.
