SAUSAGE & APPLE PIZZA image

Categories     Cheese

Yield 12-14" Pizza

Number Of Ingredients 16

For the toppings:
1/2 c. Crispin Brut Cider
1/2 lb. Italian Hot Sausage
1/4 Apple, cored and sliced very thin
1/2 Yellow Onion, sliced thin
1/2 c. Arugula
3/4 c. Shredded Mozzarella
1/4 c. Shredded Parmesan
1/2 tsp. Fennel Seed, crushed
1 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
1 Tbsp. Dark Brown Sugar
1/2 c. Heavy Cream
1 Small Garlic Clove, minced
1 tsp. Corn Starch
1 Pre-made crust, follow directions on
packaging

Steps:

  • Toppings: 1) Preheat the oven to 425. 2) Apples-set the slices in a bowl or glass with a 1/2 c. of the cider and let rest for at least 20 minutes or up to one hour. Drain before putting on pizza, reserving liquid. 3) Sausage-in a pan over medium-high heat, combine the sausage and fennel. Cook, breaking apart frequently until the sausage is browned on it's edges. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the sausage to a paper towel lined plate. Reserve the cooking juices. 4) Onions- in a skillet over medium heat, melt the 1 Tbs. butter with the 1 Tbs. brown sugar. Stir to combine and then add onions. Cook until tender and slightly browned on the sides, 10 minutes or so. 5) Sauce- Combine reserved cider from apples, 1/2 c. heavy cream, tsp. cornstarch, garlic, 1 Tbs. liquid from sausage, and a 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until the mixture thickens. 6) Assembly! I like to do: sauce, apples, some cheese, onions and sausage, some more cheese. Bake on a sheet pan or pizza stone for 10-15 minutes. Take out of oven, top with arugula, and rest a few minutes before cutting.
