HAM, CHEDDAR, AND APPLE BUTTER OPEN-FACED SANDWICHES (OR PIZZA)



Ham, Cheddar, and Apple Butter Open-Faced Sandwiches (Or Pizza) image

This is published in the October 2004 Bon Appetit as open-faced sandwiches, but I make this as a 12-inch pizza (a big, round, open-faced sandwich?). I wasn't sure whether we would like the sweetness of the apple butter, but there is enough savory/salty flavor in the rest of the recipe that it works well (I probably used more Dijon, though, and less apple butter, than called for in the recipe). In pizza format, it is good with some sauteed onion and some very well wrung out thawed frozen spinach added. I think this is a recipe that depends a lot on the types of ingredients used; since it has the apple butter, sweeter mustards and milder cheeses would probably not be as good. The relative proportions of Dijon and apple butter (and meat and cheese) can be adjusted for personal taste.

Time 20m

Yield 6 sandwich halves, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 ciabatta rolls, halved horizontally (or 6 slices country-style bread)
2 tablespoons olive oil
6 tablespoons apple butter
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 1/4 lbs black forest ham, thinly sliced (I ended up with smoked turkey, and used less than half this amount)
12 ounces white cheddar cheese, extra sharp, sliced (can use non-white and adjust amount to taste)
1 bunch chives, chopped (optional)

Steps:

  • Brush cut side of rolls with oil.
  • Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet, and broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. For pizza, use crust of choice, brush with a light coating of oil, and prebake.
  • Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. For pizza, spread the mustard over the whole crust and add the apple butter as small dollops (over whole crust).
  • Top with ham, then cheese (if using onion/spinach addition, add after ham or any desired order).
  • Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots (2 minutes for sandwiches; if baking a pizza, probably 7 to 8 minutes--not under broiler--are fine depending on the directions for the dough used). It is good if some of the edges of the sliced meat get a little singed!
  • Optional: sprinkle with chopped chives. Black pepper is a good addition at the end as well.

The Ingredients

The ingredients for making an apple cheddar pizza recipe are simple and easily accessible. They include pizza dough, fresh apples, cheddar cheese, olive oil, salt, pepper, and cornmeal.
Pizza Dough
A pizza dough is the foundation of every pizza recipe. You can either make your own dough or purchase a pre-made pizza crust. Homemade pizza dough is easy to make using flour, yeast, salt, and water.
Fresh Apples
Fresh apples are the star ingredient of this recipe. You can use any type of apple, but tart apples like Granny Smith work best in this recipe. Apples add sweetness to the pizza and a crunchy texture that complements the cheese and crust.
Cheddar Cheese
Cheddar cheese is a savory component of this recipe. It has a creamy texture and a bold flavor that pairs well with apples. Use sharp cheddar cheese to add more depth to the flavor.
Olive oil
Olive oil adds moisture and richness to the crust. It also provides a lightly fruity and earthy flavor that pairs well with apples.
Salt and pepper
Add a pinch of salt and pepper to season the pizza dough and enhance the flavors of the other ingredients.
Cornmeal
Cornmeal is used to sprinkle the bottom of the pizza crust before baking. It helps prevent the dough from sticking to the baking sheet and adds a slight corn flavor to the crust.

Step 1: Preheat the oven

Step 4: Add cheddar cheese
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese onto the olive oil spread. Leave a one-inch border around the edge of the dough without cheese.
Step 5: Add sliced apples
Slice the apples thinly and place them onto the cheddar cheese. Spread them evenly across the pizza, covering the cheese.
Step 6: Season
Season the pizza with salt and pepper, to taste.
Step 7: Bake

It is a perfect dish for those who love experimenting with food or want to try something new. A well-prepared apple cheddar pizza can be a treat to your taste buds, but if not done correctly, it can be a disaster. Therefore, it is essential to keep some useful tips in mind while making your apple cheddar pizza recipe to avoid any mistakes. In this article, we will discuss some valuable tips to consider when making apple cheddar pizza recipes.

1. Pick the Right Apples:

The type of apples used for the apple cheddar pizza recipe is very important. The apples used should have a crisp texture with a sweet flavor that complements the tanginess of the cheddar cheese. Granny Smith apples are the most commonly used apples for this recipe, but you can also use other apples like Honeycrisp, Braeburn, or Pink Lady.
TIP:
Make sure to cut the apples into thin slices to ensure they cook evenly in the oven.

2. Preheat the Oven:

Preheating the oven is essential when making apple cheddar pizza. Preheating ensures that the crust cooks evenly and becomes crispy. It’s recommended to preheat the oven to a temperature of 425°F/218°C for about 15-20 minutes before placing the pizza inside.
TIP:
For best results, use a pizza stone or a baking sheet to bake the apple cheddar pizza.

3. Use a Good-Quality Cheese:

The cheese used in the recipe is just as significant as the apples. It’s best to use a good-quality sharp cheddar cheese to add a tangy flavor to the recipe.
TIP:
Grate the cheese yourself instead of buying pre-grated cheese for maximum flavor.

4. Keep the Toppings Simple:

Apple cheddar pizza is unique due to its combination of flavors. The addition of too many toppings can overpower the taste of the cheese and apples. Therefore, it's best to use minimal toppings like caramelized onions or sliced ham.
TIP:
Drizzle a little bit of honey over the pizza for an extra touch of sweetness.

5. Make Your Pizza Dough:

Making your own pizza dough is preferred to store-bought versions because it allows you to control the texture and thickness of the crust. You can use a classic pizza dough recipe or add some extra flavors like garlic or herbs.
TIP:
Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough into a thin and even layer. This will help ensure the crust cook evenly.

6. Add Some Kick:

If you want to add some spice to your apple cheddar pizza, you can top it with red pepper flakes or jalapeño peppers. This will add some heat to the dish, and it pairs well with the sweetness of the apples.
TIP:
For a milder taste, remove the seeds from the jalapeño pepper before slicing it.

7. Don’t Overload the Pizza:

It is essential not to overload the pizza with too many toppings. Overloading the pizza can cause it to become soggy, and it won't cook evenly. Therefore, it's essential to use minimal toppings and to space them out evenly on the pizza.
TIP:
If you are unsure of how much topping to add, it's best to start with a small amount and add more if needed.

Conclusion:

Making apple cheddar pizza is a fun and delicious way to enjoy pizza. By following these tips, you can ensure that your apple cheddar pizza recipe will be a success. Remember to pick the right apples, use a good-quality cheese, preheat the oven, and keep the toppings simple. Making your pizza dough from scratch is also recommended as it allows you to control the texture and thickness of the crust. Lastly, don’t overload the pizza with too many toppings, and if you want to add some kick to the dish, you can top it with red pepper flakes or jalapeño peppers. With these tips in mind, you are sure to make a mouth-watering apple cheddar pizza that will please everyone.
