How to Make Apple Cheddar Brunch Pizza
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out one 13.5-ounce package of refrigerated pizza dough to a 14-inch circle.
- Carefully transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet. Gently stretch the dough to fit the sheet, and slightly roll up the edges to create a ½-inch crust.
- Evenly distribute 2 medium apples (peeled, cored, and thinly sliced) over the dough, leaving a ½-inch border.
- In a small bowl, whisk together ¼ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg.
- Sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
- Dot the apple mixture with 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, cut into small pieces.
- Sprinkle 1 ½ cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the apples and sugar mixture.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the cheese is golden brown and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
