Taffy Apple Pizza – sugar cookie crust with a peanut butter and brown sugar sauce, sliced apples, chopped peanuts, and caramel sauce.
I don’t know if you guys have noticed but I am SO READY FOR FALL, SNOW, WINTER, SNOW, HALLOWEEN, SNOW, CHRISTMAS, and most importantly SNOW.
It’s like that scene in Knocked Up when the guy says he wishes he liked anything as much as his kids like bubbles. I imagine my husband probably says, “I wish I liked anything as much as my wife likes snow!”
We had a day last week where our high was in the 50s and I was in heaven. I broke out my boots, my winter coat, my big scarf that my mom made me. It was awesome. I’m sure everyone who saw me thought I was crazy pants but… I’m just excited, y’all.
And btw, it’s well into the hundreds in Afghanistan and my husband is not amused by the scarf selfies I send him. #bestwifeever
One of the great things about fall is, of course, apples. Oh man, I can’t even wait for the honeycrisps to show up. They are probably the thing I like most about fall.
After football.
Obviously.
Taffy Apple Pizza!
But while we wait for honeycrisps, I had to make something with apples. This is a Taffy Apple Pizza with a sugar cookie crust, a peanut butter cream cheese sauce, apples, peanuts, and a caramel drizzle.
I totally don’t mind eating fruit if it’s served on a cookie with caramel on top.
If you need me I’ll be sitting in my house, sweating my butt off because I’m too stubborn to turn on the A/C. Come on, fall!

I am so pumped about Fall, winter, all the holidays, and snow! And I’m so jealous you’ve already pulled out the boots and scarves. I’m just pretending it’s getting cold and baking with pumpkin all day haha! This is an awesome pizza – I love apples and a sugar cookie crust is genius!

Honestly, after the crazy heat and humidity we had last week, I’m definitely ready for the cooler weather too! I just can’t believe we’re like a couple months away from Thanksgiving and all the yummy food holidays! The sugar cookie crust on this is PERFECTION!

This looks gorgeous! Pinned! And I am sitting here sweating my butt off b/c SoCal is having our typical September as the hottest month of the year situation going on right now. It’s an easy 90F in my house, no A/C.

Oh how I wish we got snow here in south Florida. It’s been in the 90s, hot and humid. I’m anxiously awaiting the cooler, drier weather that comes with fall. It comes without snow but I’ll take it!
This is one gorgeous tart, Amanda! I could totally devour it right now and it’s only 7am!
