Not sweating my butt off all day? Awesome. Getting dark before 7pm? Not awesome.

Fire pits? Awesome. Having to wear pants? Not awesome.

Apple everything? Awesome. Pumpkin everything? Kill me.

So yea, I have mixed feelings about the first day of Fall. It's so exciting in so many ways. I can't wait for Olivia to experience trees changing color. Going apple picking. Her first hayride. And being actually aware of the costume she is wearing (although I'll totally miss that hot dog costume we forced her to wear last year).

But it also is kind of a bummer. For a teacher, there's nothing better than summer. And I'm so not a fan of the pumpkin craze. ESPECIALLY when people try to start it at the end of August when clearly I'm still stuffing my face with tomatoes, corn, and peaches. Obviously.

Me? I'm all about apple. Apple pie, apple crisp, apple cider, apple cider donuts... give me all of it! And now. One heck of a new apple fall dessert in my lineup. Hello fall... let's celebrate with these epic Caramel Apple Crisp Pizookies.

What's a pizookie, you ask? It's what Chicago did to pizza. Deep dish, baby. And it's pretty darn magical. Not only is it ooey, gooey, and everything you want a cookie to be, it's way easier than having to drop individual cookie dough balls on baking trays in batches.

Spread the dough into a few small skillets or baking dishes and BOOM. Instant dessert win.

Have you had apple crisp before? It's my favorite fall dessert. I actually like it better than apple pie and apple cobbler. I love that buttery oatmeal crisp topping. And here, the oatmeal deep dish cookie (i.e. pizookie) acts as that crisp topping. But it's bigger. AND A COOKIE.

Yup, there is is. In all it's beautiful oatmeal pizookie glory. It's inspired and adapted from this awesome recipe. Let's not stop there, though.

I top these stunning golden brown beauties with brown sugar roasted apples (mmm hmmmmm), ~~way too much~~ the perfect amount of caramel sauce, and a ~~pint~~ scoop of vanilla ice cream.

This, my friends, is Fall dessert heaven.

Big enough to share. Good enough that you won't want to.

We have to talk about the eggs I've been packing my fridge with lately. Davidson’s Safest Choice® Pasteurized Eggs are a staple in my house. Beyond tasting great and being super high quality, they are also pasteurized! I know! Who knew that eggs could be pasteurized?! These guys figured it out using an all-natural patented process, and now we can all say peace out to any risk of Salmonella. 100% worry free... which is much appreciated for my Type A anxiousness about pretty much everything.

They are so safe, you can actually eat them straight up. Go ahead... eat some of this cookie dough raw. You're all good, thanks to Davidson’s Safest Choice® Pasteurized Eggs.
