APPLE PIZZA

This recipe that I am going to share with you is something new to me.  I always heard about apple tart, apple pie, apple cupcakes/cakes but never in my whole life heard about APPLE PIZZA.

I've made my research on the web about apple pizzas and I have seen different style of making it.  This is different because it is SWEET PIZZA, a long-standing tradition from ITALY and take note this is using a FROZEN PIZZA DOUGH. 

I just wonder why not enjoy them here in the Philippines.  This is good for CHRISTMAS SEASON.

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbs unsalted butter, cut in to bits; more for the pan
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground pepper
  • 1 lb. frozen pizza dough, thawed
  • 3 large red apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/8 inch-thick slices
HEAT THE OVEN to 500°F.  Grease the bottom of a 16x11-inch rimmed baking sheet with butter.  In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon.

PRESS AND STRETCH the dough evenly into a rough 11-inch round on the prepared baking sheet, then fold the edge inward 1/2 inch to create a lip. (If the dough resists at first, let it rest for a minute and then continue.)

ARRANGE THE APPLES in rows on top of the pizza, overlapping them.  Sprinkle all over with the cinnamon sugar. Dot the apples with the bits of butter.

BAKE THE PIZZA until the underside of the dough is golden (you can lift up the pizza with a metal spatula and take a peek) and the apples are soft, about 15 minutes.  Cut into 6 wedges and serve warm.



Overall I was very pleased with the way the pizza turned out and I will definitely be making it again and again.
