Instructions
-
- In a large bowl using a hand-held mixer or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream softened butter for about 1 minute on medium speed.
-
- Add sugar, then beat on medium speed until fluffy and light in color. Beat in egg and vanilla. Scrape down the sides as needed.
-
- In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon. With the mixer running at low speed, slowly add dry ingredients to wet ingredients.
-
- Once completely combined, cover dough tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes and up to 1 day. Without chilling, the cookie dough will spread over the sides of the pan.
-
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Toast the walnuts for 10 minutes on a lined baking sheet. Set aside to cool.
-
- Turn oven up to 350 degrees F. Generously grease a 12-inch pizza pan.
-
- Remove chilled cookie dough from the refrigerator and press onto the pan to form a flat circle. Leave a 2-inch space from the edge.
-
- Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until the edges are very lightly browned. Allow crust to cool completely before decorating.
-
- While making the frosting, soak apple slices in club soda to help prevent browning.
-
- Â In a medium bowl using a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a paddle or whisk attachment, beat cream cheese and butter together on medium speed for about 2 minutes until smooth.
-
- Add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla, and ¼ cup caramel sauce. Beat for 2 minutes until completely combined. Spread over cooled crust.
-
- Decorate with apple slices, remaining caramel sauce, and toasted walnuts. Cut into slices and serve.
-
- Leftovers keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
