Number Of Ingredients 19

Pizza Dough, recipe follows
All-purpose flour, for bench and pizza peel
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cups peeled golden apples, cut into wedges (about 4)
1 1/2 tablespoons apple brandy
1/3 cup light brown sugar
3 tablespoons golden raisins
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch salt
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, for dusting
1 quart vanilla bean ice cream
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water (113 degrees F)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast (2 packets)
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more to grease bowl
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting

Steps:

Preheat the oven, with a pizza stone if using, to 400 degrees F.
For the flatbread: Stretch each piece of dough thinly, dusting with flour. Roll out each dough. Transfer to a pizza peel or upturned baking sheet dusted with flour or cornmeal. Par-bake for about 4 minutes each. Reserve.
For the apple topping: Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the butter and once foaming, add the apples and cook until lightly browned on the outside, about 2 minutes. Add the brandy to deglaze (take care as it may flame), and then add the brown sugar, golden raisins, lemon juice, vanilla extract, cinnamon and salt, and cook over low heat until the apples are tender and sauce has thickened slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the heat and top the par-baked dough with the apple topping. Place back into the oven for another 2 minutes. Serve warm.
To serve: Cut with a pizza wheel, dust with confectioners' sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
