CARMEL APPLE PIZZA

This is part of a food challenge hosted by Lady Behind The Curtain where each month a different combination of foods and this month it is Apples and Carmel.   For more information if you would like to participate click here.

I made this based on this recipe at Food.com  by Adopted Parisian but have added my own touches. 
Here is the recipe:
-   1 tube of pre-made chocolate chip chip or sugar cookie dough 
-   1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, room temp 
-   1/2 cup packed brown sugar 
-   1/4 cup creamy peanut butter 
-   1 teaspoon vanilla 
-    2 green apples 
-   1 cup of lemon lime soda (optional) 
-   10 drops of lemon juice (optional) 
-   1/2 cup caramel topping

Preheat oven to 350° or whatever is indicated on the package.  Roll out dough into a large cookie enough cookie to cover a round pizza pan and place on pan (Sorry, picture did not come out for this one).  Bake 8-10 minutes or whatever is indicated on package, then allow it to cool.


Blend the cream cheese, brown sugar, peanut butter and vanilla  until well blended.














It should look like this when blended




















Spread on cookie












Wash, core and then chop the apple in to thin slices.

Pour the lemon lime soda in a bowl with the lemon juice.  Add apples and toss (will prevent apples from browning)









Place the apple slices on the cookie.
















Heat up carmel 30-40 seconds in the microwave and drizzle over the top of the pizza.  

I made my own carmel topping using this recipe, but you could use a commercially prepared topping instead.
