SMOKY SAUSAGE & APPLE PIZZA

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Stir in the water, oil and honey; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining whole wheat flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes., Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onion, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon syrup, salt and cayenne in oil until onion is tender. Remove from the heat; stir in the sage, mustard and remaining vinegar and syrup., Grease a 12-in. pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll out dough to fit prepared pan; prick thoroughly with a fork. Bake at 450° for 5-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned., Arrange the onion mixture, beet greens, apple, sausages and cheese over top. Bake 5-7 minutes longer or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.

SMOKED SAUSAGE AND APPLES

Steps:

• Slice smoked sausage into 1 inch coins, and place in a microwavable bowl with a lid.
• Add apples and onions.
• Sprinkle brown sugar over all. Add water. Cover.
• Microwave on high for about 5 mins or till apples are tender. (I use my fresh vegetable button for hard veggies).
• May season with salt and pepper if care to. We normally don't.
• Note: If you do not have a bowl with lid that will go into microwave, you may use plastic wrap, just be sure to vent it, by folding in one corner of wrap to make a little hole.

SAUSAGE & APPLE PIZZA

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.
