Apple & Roquefort Pizza

Inspired by our friend Annette Lee

Ingredients:

  • 1 Tbs – 2 Tbs olive oil

  • 1 onion – sliced thin

  • 2 firm apples – cored and sliced thin

  • ¼ cup bacon – cooked and crumbled ( or substitute toasted walnuts)

  • ¾ cup Roquefort cheese – crumbled

  • Parmesan cheese – grated

  • Pizza dough

  • Coarse salt

  • Corn meal

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

  2. Heat the olive oil over a low heat in a sauté pan or skillet. Add the onions, and sauté, stirring every few minutes, till they are soft and beginning to caramelize, approximately 20 minutes. Remove the onions to a plate and set aside.

  3. Add the apples to the pan that the onions were in and sauté them over low heat until they begin to soften and turn brown on the edges, 5-8 minutes. Don’t let them become too soft or start to break down. Remove from heat.

  4. Dust a pizza stone or pan with corn meal, and stretch the pizza dough out on it. Brush the outer edge with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with coarse salt.

  5. Spread the onions across the top of the pizza, then arrange the apple slices over them. Scatter the bacon (or walnuts) evenly over the pizza. Crumble the Roquefort cheese on top, and slide into the hot oven. Remove when the edge starts to bubble and turn brown – approximately 7-10 minutes.

  6. Grate Parmesan cheese over the top of the hot pizza.

  7. Slice and enjoy.
