How to cook deliciously - Apple Pizza
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat the water, milk and butter to between 120° and 130°. Add the water mixture to the flour mixture, and beat for two minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough.
2. Stage
Turn the dough onto a floured surface. Cover it loosely, and let it rest for 15 minutes.
3. Stage
Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook and stir the apples over medium heat for two minutes. Stir together the sugar, flour and cinnamon in a bowl, then stir into the skillet. Cook for three minutes. Reduce the heat to low. Cook, uncovered, four to six minutes, until the apples are tender, stirring frequently.
4. Stage
In a small bowl, stir together the cream cheese, brown sugar and caramel ice cream topping until smooth.
5. Stage
In a small bowl, combine the flour and sugar, and cut in the cold butter until it becomes crumbly. Editor's Tip: What is streusel, anyway? This crumbly, buttery, sweet topping can be used in everything from apple crumb pie to muffin and coffee cake recipes. The key is to use cold butter so it forms chunks of streusel that crumble evenly over the pizza.
6. Stage
Pat the dough onto a greased 14-inch pizza pan, building up the edges slightly. Spread on the cheese topping, then the apple topping. Sprinkle with the streusel.
7. Stage
Bake the apple pizza for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Serve warm or cold. If desired, top with caramel ice cream topping just before serving.
