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 family’s tastes. —Brenda Mowrey, Taylors, South Carolina

Apple Pizza Recipe

Prep: 40 min. Bake: 20 min.

Yield: 10-12 Servings

40 20 60

Ingredients

2-1/3 to 3 cups 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 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 all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Directions

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.
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.
In a small bowl, combine the cheese topping ingredients. For streusel, in a small bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly.
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.

Love this recipe. But instead of the yeast crust, I used a "Jiffy" pie crust and is came out great. Less time consuming too. Family loved it. Next time I will try Pillsbury cinnamon rolls for the crust.

This is a very tasty recipe, but very time consuming. This is my husbands favorite treat!

I followed the recipe as it is stated and found that the dough did not rise like I thought it should during the resting period or the baking. Should the yeast be acivated before adding it to the dry ingredients. I got this recipe from my friend and she had put the yeast in dry, however she couldn't remember if she used the traditional or quick rise yeast. Can anyone help me on this one?
