Apple Taffy Pizza

Sometimes you have to give credit where credit is due.

An old elementary, middle school, high school friend, and a great friend to this day, starting making this pizza way back when. I stole it from her.

Us girls would always request it, and for some reason I specifically remember her bringing it to the lake. We'd take a couple days and all head out to our friend's cabin on the lake by our hometown. Those were the days - skiing, paddle boating - and trying to "paddle boat" our way around the lake.

We never made it.

But, we would never leave a crumb of this dessert at that cabin. You know, desserts are meant to be eaten up, right?


Apple Taffy Pizza (gluten free!)

Crust: 2 eggs, 2 cups peanut butter, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup brown sugar

Filling: 1 block of cream cheese, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1 t. vanilla, 1/2 cup peanut butter

Topping: 1 sliced granny smith apple, peanuts, caramel, cinnamon, 7-Up or lemon juice

Mix ingredients for the crust and press down in a 9x13 pan. Traditionally, this is put on a pizza stone or pan (hence, Apple Taffy Pizza), but I have a zillion hungry boys at my house today, and they could care less what shape it is, so I went the easy route that fits better in my fridge. Bake this crust at 350 degrees for 25 minutes.

Mix filling ingredients together. When crust is completely cool, spread cream cheese mixture on crust. Then layer apples (best to leave them soaking in lemon juice or 7-Up for awhile, to keep them from browning), and sprinkle on cinnamon, peanuts and drizzle with caramel.

Keep in the fridge, as this dish is best eaten cold. You can easily make a day ahead of time, as it keeps well for a few days.










How about that for a dessert?

Well, I need to get moving - boys arriving, still need to make a batch of blueberry muffins, vacuum, and oh yeah, make sure the little man isn't getting into EVERYTHING while I'm trying to accomplish this.

Have a great weekend!

  2. The seven up is a great tip to prevent the apples from browning too much. Some of my best memories surround different desserts! Mainly my grandma's devil's food cake.

  7. we had this at a pampered chef party and i made it for my son's bday. although we left out the cream cheese by accident(it was forgotten) and we decided we liked it even better. we also crush the peanuts and the texture/taste is out of this world...and the base is sugar cookie dough. a little different than yours, but still good!

  12. Awesome recipe! The only thing I would do differently is roll the dough out to about 10-11" because it expands and then goes off the edges into your oven if you do it too close to the edge of the stone. Thanks

  19. I've made this several times using peanut butter cookie dough rather than sugar cookie dough, and it's awesome that way too. I love peanut butter, so the more the merrier.
