INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment. Set aside. Place a large frying pan over medium heat. Add sausage and crumble with a wooden spoon. Add onion, apples, maple syrup, applesauce, garlic powder, and salt and pepper. Add walnuts and toss. Remove from heat when the onion is soft and the apples are slightly soft (still have a bite).  Spread out the pizza crust in a rectangle. Drain the sausage mixture and spread it across the entire body of the pizza crust leaving a 1-inch border on all 4 sides. Starting with one short edge, tightly roll to the other short edge and pinch the edges together. Slice at 1-inch intervals with a sharp knife. Tuck any of the loose fillings back into the roll. Lay rolls cut side up on a lined baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until browned and the crust is cooked through. Remove from oven. In a small bowl mix together with a small whisk: of cream cheese, maple syrup, coffee, and vanilla.  Top each roll with flavored cream cheese and serve.
