Ingredients
  

For the Pizza
  • 1 Store-bought or homemade pizza dough Use half for this recipe
  • 2 small apples thinly sliced
  • cup maple syrup divided
  • 12 ounces shredded Italian blend cheese
  • 4 slices cooked bacon cut into thick pieces
  • ½ cup roasted garlic cloves
  • 3 ounces blue cheese crumbled

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Small bowl

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 475 degrees F (245 degrees C).
  2. Place the thinly sliced apples in a small bowl. Pour half of the maple syrup over the apples and set aside.
  3. Divide the pizza dough ball into 4 sections. Reserve half of the dough for another use. Stretch one section of the dough and place it on a small baking sheet, working the dough into a rectangle. If the dough springs back, let it rest for a few minutes, then continue to spread it into the corners of the baking sheet.
  4. Layer the dough with half of the shredded Italian cheese. Top with the maple-syrup coated apple slices, half of the bacon pieces, roasted garlic cloves, and chunks of blue cheese.
  5. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown. Drizzle with the remaining maple syrup, cut, and serve immediately.
