What Is The Base For Apple Pizza
I bought a store bought sugar cookie dough. If you have a favorite homemade sugar cookie recipe, by all means, use that. I just wanted this to be fast to make, so store-bought fit into that realm. Check out my fruit pizza recipe as well!
Best Apples For This Dessert Apple Pizza Recipe
You can use any of your favorite apples. From green apples, Honeycrisp, gala, you like it, use it. The sweeter the apple the sweeter the pizza, so keep that in mind. I like using yellow or green since it adds a zest of tangy factor, and off-sets the sweetness from frosting and cookie.

Can I Make This Caramel Apple Fruit Pizza Ahead of Time
If you aren’t going to be serving this right away you may want to soak apple slices in a mixture of 4 cups water and 2 Tbsp. of Lemon Juice, then pat the apples dry, this will help keep the apples from browning. I do not recommend storing this overnight, it’s best served the same day.

Variations For Apple Fruit Pizza
Want to change up this dessert pizza recipe? Here are some variations to really dress up and customize the flavors.
- Candy Bars | Swap out Snickers for say Twix, Milky Way or any other of your favorite candy bars. This recipe is great for using up Halloween candy.
- Frosting | Skip my frosting recipe and buy canned, or use whipped cream instead. The thing is if you use whipped cream it will break down fast so you need to use it eat it quicker.
- Caramel Sauce | Instead of caramel use hot fudge, peanut butter, butterscotch, etc. Or combine multiple sauces to really amplify the sweetness of this dessert.
How To Store Leftovers
You need to keep your fruit pizza refrigerated or it will go bad fast. Don’t leave it out on the counter for more than two hours, or you run the risk of it spoiling.

This was not only delicious, but it also was beautiful to look at! Sorry, I didn’t think to take a photo to prove it before it got demolished at our pizza party..!
I did tweak some things, though:
-Because I decided this was gonna be my last-minute potluck contribution, my grocery store only had chocolate chip cookie dough on the shelf, and so that’s what I went with!
– Because our pizza party was gonna be pretty big, I pressed the cookie dough on parchment paper into a cookie sheet instead of a pizza pan. So it was more like a “slab” pizza.
– In the cream cheese mixture, I decided to leave out the powdered sugar because it just sounded a bit too sweet for my taste. I also added some dark chocolate syrup to the mix!!!
– I don’t care for pecans much, so I used dry-roasted peanuts instead.
– I drizzled some of that dark chocolate syrup to top the pizza along with the caramel syrup.
It turned out REALLY GOOD! And the sweetness was just right!
Thank you for sharing! I’ll definitely be making this again!!!
