Caramelized Apple Pizza
Oct 16, 2014Posted by Chef BartPrint
Just when I had wrapped up a wonderful evening of fresh pizza making, my family turned to me and with lost looks on their faces collectively said, “what no dessert?” Fortunately I had a couple apples handy and gelato in the freezer. I went to work on a quick dessert pizza. The family was thrilled and spared me to cook for them yet another day.
Hope you enjoy. Chef Bart … until next week feast well.
Caramelized Apple Pizza
Ingredients
- 1 Dough ball
- 2 apples firm granny smith or similar, sliced thinly
- 2 tblspns butter
- 2 tblspns brown sugar
- 1 Lemon juice
- 1 thyme leaves fresh
- 1 tspn sugar
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon

Instructions
- In a sauté pan over medium-high heat place the brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Heat the sugar until it begins to melt, bubble and begin to smoke. Remove from heat and whisk in the butter and lemon juice turning the mixture into a smooth caramel. Place back on the heat, lower temperature and add apples. Stirring occasionally, cook the apples until they are tender and covered in caramel, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, set aside to cool.
