A flavor that screams fall more than the loved pumpkin spice is apple anything!  At the beginning of the school year, Jude’s school always does a church in the park plus a pot luck to celebrate the new year.  It is a great time because not only do we get to meet lots of new people, have worship in the park and hear all the school kids sing but we also get to enjoy LOTS of delicious food.
We were told to bring dessert and I sat down to think of a great pot luck dessert that people would love and brought the flavors of fall to the party.  I instantly thought of fruit pizza but wanted to give it a fall flair.  I combined a few recipes came up with this amazing fall dessert.

8.  When ready to bake cookie crust – preheat over to 350 degrees.  Grease pizza pan.
9.  Press chilled cookie dough onto pan into a flat circle.

I love the combination of caramel and apples so this dessert was such a treat for me but I sure did hear a lot of complements from others as well.  Success!  If you are in need of a pot luck friendly dessert this is it!  Super easy to make ahead for a busy morning too.
