Step 1

For crust in large mixing bowl knead together cookie dough and flour. Place dough on a greased 12-13" pizza pan (I use round baking stone); press from center to edges to form crust. Bake at 375 degrees for 12 minutes or until brown. Cool.
For topping, in medium bowl combine cream cheese, peanut butter, brown sugar and vanilla. Beat until combined. Spread onto cooled crust. If desired, cover and chill overnight.
Before serving, brush apple slices with lemon juice. Arrange slices atop peanut butter mixture. sprinkle with cinnamon. Drizzle with caramel topping. Sprinkle with peanuts. Cut into wedges to serve.
