Calories 491kcal
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 medium honeycrisp or gala apples, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Pizza dough for 1 (12-inch) crust
- 1/2 cup apple butter
- 1-1/2 cups shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup firmly-packed chopped fresh kale
- 3/4 cup crumbled goat cheese
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
Instructions
- Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add apples, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg and sauté 3-5 minutes until apples are crisp-tender. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 450F and adjust oven rack to middle. Place a pizza stone on oven rack to preheat (if you have one)
- Turn pizza dough onto a floured surface and shape/stretch dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a well-floured pizza peel if baking pizza on stone or to a greased 12-inch pizza pan.
- Spread apple butter in a thin layer over pizza crust to within 1 inch of edges and fold edges of crust over to create a 1/2-inch border. Top with mozzarella, kale, sautéed apples, goat cheese, and thyme.
- If baking pizza on stone, use the peel to slide pizza onto stone. If baking in pan, place pan in oven and bake pizza at 450F 10-15 minutes until pizza is a deep golden brown.
- Remove pizza from oven. Let stand 5 minutes then cut pizza into wedges and serve warm. Enjoy!
