Ingredients
  

1 pre-made pizza dough (store-bought or homemade)

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

1/4 cup granulated sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup powdered sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup apple pie filling (optional)

1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Freshly whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.

    Prepare the Dough: Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. If using store-bought dough, follow the package instructions for preparation.

      Add Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: In a small bowl, mix together the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Brush the rolled-out pizza dough with melted butter and liberally sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the top.

        Pre-bake the Dough: Transfer the dough onto a pizza stone or a baking sheet. Bake for about 5-7 minutes, until the edges are lightly golden.

          Prepare the Cream Cheese Spread: While the crust is baking, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until smooth.

            Assemble the Pizza: Once the crust is pre-baked, remove it from the oven. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the warm dough. If using, spoon the apple pie filling onto the cream cheese layer, spreading it out gently. Optionally, sprinkle the chopped nuts over the top for added crunch.

              Final Bake: Return the assembled pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are crispy and the cream cheese is slightly set.

                Serve: Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm, topped with freshly whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra sweet touch.
