Caramel Apple Streusel Dessert Pizza with Cinnamon Mascarpone

Directions

1. Step 1
   Preheat oven to 400°F. Coat a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Step 2
   Press the dough into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 8 minutes or until light golden brown.

3. Step 3
   Meanwhile, for the streusel, in a medium bowl combine flour, brown sugar, oats, 1/2-teaspoon of the cinnamon and the nutmeg. Using a pastry blender, cut in butter until pieces are pea size. Stir in macadamia nuts; set aside.

4. Step 4
   In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and remaining 1/2-teaspoon cinnamon. Spread over the warm crust. Top with apple pie filling. Sprinkle streusel mixture evenly over apple pie filling.

5. Step 5
   Bake for 10 to 12 minutes more or until edges are golden brown and filling is bubbly. Cool slightly in pan on a wire rack.

6. Step 6
   Place caramel topping in a 1-cup microwave safe glass measure. Micro-cook on high (100% power) for 20 to 30 seconds or until heated through. Stir in rum extract. Drizzle caramel mixture evenly over the apple filling. Cut into squares and serve warm.
