Ingredients

• 1 pound Pizza dough
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1.5 cups Shredded white cheddar cheese
• 1 Apple (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 0.5 teaspoon Kosher salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Cracked black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as the oven preheats.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch circle. If using a pizza stone, transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper lightly dusted with cornmeal.

Step 3

Brush the rolled-out pizza dough evenly with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, leaving a ½-inch border around the edges.

Step 4

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the dough.

Step 5

Arrange the thinly sliced apple over the cheese in a circular pattern, slightly overlapping the slices.

Step 6

Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of cheddar cheese over the apple slices.

Step 7

Season the pizza with fresh thyme leaves, ½ teaspoon of kosher salt, and ¼ teaspoon of cracked black pepper.

Step 8

Drizzle 1 tablespoon of honey evenly over the top for a touch of sweetness.

Step 9

If not using parchment paper, dust a pizza peel with cornmeal and carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated pizza stone. If using a parchment paper transfer, slide the parchment with the pizza onto the stone.

Step 10

Bake the pizza for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 3-5 minutes before slicing.

Step 12

Slice and serve immediately. Enjoy your Apple Cheddar Brunch Pizza!
