Caramel Apple Pizza

Caramel Apple Pizza
“I made a favorite recipe lighter by making my own cookie crust. I used less fat and sugar, and part whole wheat pastry flour. I also used a combination of fat-free and low-fat cream cheese as well as fat-free caramel sauce. My family doesn't notice the difference.” -Tari Ambler of Shorewood, Illinois
