Taffy Apple Pizza

I made this for my husband and all of his buddies a while back, but of course I had to try it first. I have to admit that I had a hard time letting him take it. Rather, I wanted to sit down right there and gobble up the entite thing by myself and pretend that I never made itTaffy Apple Pizza

From: unknown

1 pkg. refrigerated sugar cookie dough
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 pkg. cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
2 med. granny smith apples, peeled & sliced
1 cup lemon-lime soda
ground cinnamon
1/4 cup caramel ice cream topping
1/2 cup copped peanuts.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough onto a pizza stone. Bake 18-20 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 10 minutes. Carefully loosen from the stone with a serrated bread knife. Cool completely.

Combine peanut butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla in a small bowl, mixing until smooth. Spread over top of the cookie.

Dip apples in soda to prevent browning, arrange over cream cheese mixture. Sprinkle lightly with cinnamon. Microwave caramel topping on high fro 30-45 seconds, or until warm. Drizzle over apples. Sprinkle with peanuts.
