Apple Pizza

Who says pizza always has to be about pepperoni?

Is Apple Pizza a great after school snack? Or a terrific, yummy dessert? You choose.

Even for the every day snack, this one is one of my favorites. Chock full of good stuff for the mind, body and soul, you'll love it too.

What you'll need:
For the dough and filling
- 1/2 loaf of 8 ounce frozen bread dough (thawed)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 4 cup apples (peel and thinly sliced)
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon

For the topping
- 1/3 cup flour
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 2 Tablespoons margarine (softened)
- 1/2 cup slivered almonds

Easy to do:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

First, place the bread dough on a greased 12-inch deep dish pizza pan. After it has thawed completely, just pat the dough onto the bottom and up 1/2 inch of the sides of the pan. Then, let the dough rest for about 15 minutes.

Next, mix together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth and creamy.

Then, combine the apples, 2/3 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup flour and cinnamon. Arrange evenly over cream cheese mixture.

Then, in a small bowl, mix together the 1/3 cup flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Cut in the margarine until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add the slivered almonds and then sprinkle this mixture evenly over the apples.

Bake for about 40 minutes or until the dough has started turning to a golden brown.

The nice thing about this recipe is you can serve it warm (dessert?) or cold (snack?) If you serve it as a snack, it can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator ready to whip out at hungry moment's notice! Your family will be thrilled!
