Pizza is a favorite at our house, so when I had some apples to use up, I started searching for an apple pizza recipe. I tailored this one to fit my familyâs tastes. âBrenda Mowrey, Taylors, South Carolina Ingredients:
2-1/3 to 3 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 cup water |
1/4 cup milk |
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
apple topping: |
4 cups sliced peeled tart apples |
2 tablespoons butter |
1/2 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
cheese topping: |
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1/4 cup packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping |
streusel: |
2/3 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat water, milk and butter to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. Turn onto a floured surface; cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook and stir apples in butter over medium heat for 2 minutes. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon; stir into skillet. Cook 3 minutes longer. Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, for 4-6 minutes or until apples are tender, stirring frequently.
3. In a small bowl, combine the cheese topping ingredients. For streusel, in a small bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly.
4. Pat dough onto a greased 14-in. pizza pan, building up edges slightly. Spread with cheese topping, then apple topping. Sprinkle with streusel. Bake at 375° for 20-25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Serve warm or cold. Yield: 10-12 servings.
