Salted Caramel Apple Pie Pizza Cookie is a white chocolate chip pizza cookie topped with fresh caramel apple pie filling, ice cream, and more caramel. Amazing decadence!

Ingredients

For the cookie:

• 1 1/2 cups (191
  grams) all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, melted
• 1/2 cup (100 grams) dark brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
• 1 large egg, at room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup (170 grams) white chocolate chips

For the caramel apple topping:

• 2 large Granny Smith or Jonathan apples, cored, peeled, and diced
• 1/4 cup (50 grams) packed light brown sugar
• 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons (28 grams) butter

For finishing:

• 10 caramel square candies, unwrapped
• 1/4 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
• Vanilla ice cream

Directions

For the cookie:

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Spray two 6-inch pie plates or cast iron servers with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a medium bowl whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt to combine.
3. In a large bowl stir the butter with the sugars. Let cool slightly if the butter is still hot. Whisk in the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Add in the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until incorporated. Fold in the white chocolate chips.

4. Divide the dough between the prepared pie plates. Bake for about 12 minutes, or until the edges are slightly browned but the inside is still gooey, or until desired doneness.

For the caramel apple topping:

1. While the pizza cookies are baking, make the topping. Toss all the ingredients except the butter in a large bowl. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the apple mixture and cook, stirring often, until the apples soften, about 8 minutes. Keep warm until ready to use.

For the caramel topping:

1. Place the caramels and cream in a small saucepan set over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Stir in the salt.

To finish:

1. Divide the apple topping among the warm pizza cookies. Top each with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with the caramel sauce. Serve very warm.
