Apple Pizza

Apple Topping:

• 2 Tbsp butter
• 2 large cooking apples
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 2 Tbsp flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Peel and slice the apples. Melt butter in skillet, add apples, sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Simmer 15 minutes, then cool.

Cheese Topping:

• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 2 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1 Tbsp lemon juice
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg

Mix in a bowl and set aside.

Streusel Topping:

• 1/3 cup flour
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• 1/4 cup soft butter

Mix in a bowl and set aside.

Crust:

• 2 3/4 to 3 cups flour
• 1 package dry yeast
• 3 Tbsp granulated sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine

Blend 1 1/2 cups flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large mixer bowl.

Heat water, milk, and butter until very warm; add to flour mixture and beat three minutes. By hand, stir in enough flour to make a soft dough. Cover and let rise 15 minutes.

Pat dough onto a large oiled pizza pan, forming a rim around the edge. Spread on cheese topping, then apple topping over cheese; sprinkle with streusel topping. Cover and let rise for 15 minutes. Bake at 375°F for 25 to 30 minutes.

Serve warm or cold.
