Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the pork sausage until browned and fully cooked, breaking it into small crumbles. Drain excess grease if desired.
  3. Peel and dice the golden delicious apples into small, bite-sized pieces.
  4. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat and stir in the brown sugar until dissolved. Add the diced apples and cook for 5-7 minutes until slightly softened and coated in the syrup.
  5. Place the prebaked pizza crusts on baking sheets.
  6. Spread the cooked sausage evenly over each crust.
  7. Distribute the caramelized apple mixture over the sausage layer.
  8. Sprinkle the sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  10. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Note

For a spiced variation, add 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon or nutmeg to the butter and brown sugar mixture when cooking the apples.

If you prefer a sweeter profile, drizzle with maple syrup before serving.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet to maintain crust crispiness.

You can substitute the prebaked crust with homemade pizza dough if you have extra time; allow additional baking time for the dough to cook through.
