Ingredients

  • 1/2 package refrigerated sugar cookie dough

  • 8 ounces of whipped light cream cheese

  • 1/3 cup sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • 1/4 cup apricot preserves

  • Fruit to taste such as sliced bananas, sliced strawberries, sliced kiwi, seedless grapes, blueberries, melon balls, etc.

Directions

  • For the crust, preheat an oven to 375°F. Spread the cookie dough evenly on a 14-inch pizza pan. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool before topping.

  • For the topping, add the sugar and vanilla to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly. Spread over the cooled crust evenly. Spread the fruit evenly over the cream cheese layer.

  • Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the water and apricot preserves, stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Spread this glaze evenly over the fruit to prevent browning.

  • Refrigerate until ready to serve.
