This family favorite has a delicious fresh apple-pie taste that brightens any holiday table brunch. I've made it for years. Ingredients:
2-1/2 to 3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 tablespoons sugar |
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1/3 cup water |
1/3 cup milk |
3 tablespoons butter |
1 egg |
cheese topping: |
2 packages (3 ounces each) cream cheese, softened |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
apple topping: |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
5 medium apples, peeled and chopped |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
streusel: |
1/2 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup sugar |
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats |
1/2 cup butter, softened |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
glaze: |
2 cups confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the water, milk and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Beat in egg until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
2. Punch dough down. Press into two greased 12-in. pizza pans; build up edges. In a small bowl, combine the cheese topping ingredients. Spread over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. In a saucepan, combine the apple topping ingredients; simmer, uncovered, until apples are tender. Spoon over cream cheese layer.
3. Combine streusel ingredients; sprinkle over apples. Let stand for 15 minutes. Bake at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until crust is browned. Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle over warm pizzas. Cool on wire racks. Yield: 2 coffee cake pizzas (6-8 servings each).
