This Caramel Apple Fruit Pizza starts with a brown sugar cookie crust. A cream cheese frosting filled with toffee bits is spread on top and then layers of tart green apple are added. Caramel is drizzled on top to finish it off and make this Fruit Pizza completely irresistible!
This past weekend brought the first blockbuster snow storm to the Eastern Seaboard. Fortunately we escaped the brunt of it here in the Northeast.
After being buried in feet of the white stuff week after week last year, I’m perfectly fine with being left out this year.
We did get a manageable 6 inches of snow and it was just the right amount to throw Mom and I into a cooking frenzy!
Mom has been homebound in a wheelchair with the use of only one hand for a little over a month now. I was absolutely amazed at what she was able to turn out of her kitchen in one day this past weekend!
She made a gigantic pot of minestrone soup, Four Seasons Crab Cakes, Swedish Meatballs, Clam Chowder, brownies and chocolate chip cookies! With one hand!! In a wheelchair!!
I’m a little embarrassed to say she definitely out cooked me and I don’t have any broken bones!
I did make some delicious recipes though, like this Caramel Apple Fruit Pizza. It was a big hit at the AFC Championship party that some friends had on Sunday.
Thankfully we had some amazing food to eat to make up for the Patriots’ loss. 🙁 Better luck next year guys.
