Pizza is my favorite weekend treat, but it’s not just for dinner anymore. My favorite cheese and pepperoni pie has nothing on this sweet caramel apple cheesecake dessert pizza.
I took cream cheese and mixed it with maple syrup to create a sweet cheesecake dip that I spread on top of a crisp sugar cookie crust. Topped with a few slices of fresh apples and drizzled with salted caramel, this is the perfect way to end the day.
