Line a 15-inch round baking sheet (pizza stone) with parchment paper. Heat oven to 350 degree.
Open package of sugar cookie dough and press it onto the parchment paper with the heel of your hand. Press evenly into a 12-inch circle. Bake for 15-18 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and 1/4 cup caramel sauce. Blend for about 3-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Spread cream cheese over cooled cookie pizza. Arrange sliced apples over cream cheese layer.
Add chopped cashews and drizzle with remaining caramel sauce. Slice and enjoy!
Notes
Using pre-sliced apples makes this recipe even easier! Find them already peeled and ready to use in the produce section of your grocery store.
Line the pizza stone with parchment paper before adding the sugar cookie dough. It helps prevent sticking and makes removing the baked crust easier.
Feel free to swap the cashews for walnuts, pecans or peanuts.
