Ingredients

2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tube (13.8 ounces) refrigerated pizza crust
5 tablespoons maple syrup, divided
1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
3 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 medium tart apple, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Preheat oven to 400°. Grease a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. Unroll and press dough onto bottom and 1/2 in. up sides of prepared pan. Brush dough with 2 tablespoons maple syrup. Bake 8-10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
In a small nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Pour in eggs; cook and stir until eggs are thickened and no liquid egg remains. Spoon onto crust.
Toss apple slices with lemon juice. Top pizza with apple, cheese, sausage and cranberries. Bake 5-7 minutes longer or until cheese is melted. Drizzle with remaining syrup.
