Once the temperatures start to drop outside, the oven in my kitchen starts to heat up as I start preparing more baked desserts and treats. Fall is my favorite time of year to get creative in the kitchen with fall favorite flavors of apples, pumpkin, toffee, cinnamon, pecans, caramel, and more.

I took this Caramel Apple Pizza to a party over the weekend and everyone raved about how gorgeous it was and how delicious. It is the perfect size for parties as it is the size of an entire pizza, about 16 slices. This recipe would be perfect for anytime this Fall and even for Thanksgiving.
The Pillsbury® Creamy Supreme® Caramel Apple Flavored Frosting is divine! It is hard to resist as it taste so good. I like how easy it was to warm up and drizzle on top of the dessert. I can find many, many recipes that will include this frosting this Fall! It would be a nice treat with fresh cut apples for after-school or anytime for snacking.
Here is a quick tip when preparing this recipe, give your apples a little lemon juice bath to keep them from browning on your dessert – or anytime you pre-cut apples before eating.
