The Dessert Blogger

This week I attempted to make a caramel apple dessert pizza. I think that it would of tasted better if I wouldn't of burnt the sugar cookie crust! This dessert was very easy and quick. The prep time took about fifteen minutes and then you bake the crust for thirteen minutes. After the crust cooled, it took about ten minutes to put together the pizza. I liked cooling mine before I ate it too! This dessert would be perfect for the time around fall because of the caramel apples that are sprinkled over the top! The only difficult part about this dessert is getting the crust a perfect texture. If you think that the crust is looking golden, pull it out even if it still is a bit under-done in the center because it will still bake a little more in the pan once you take it out of the oven. My family really enjoyed the pizza and I will definitely make it again!
