Crust Ingredients

• 2 1/2-3 cups all purpose flour
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1/4 cup butter, cubed

Apple Topping Ingredients

• 4 cups peeled and sliced Granny Smith Apples
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Cheese Topping Ingredients

• 4 ounces softened cream cheese
• 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping

Streusel Ingredients

• 2/3 cup all purpose flour
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

Directions

In a large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat water, milk and butter to 120 degrees F. Add to dry ingredients and mix for 2 minutes. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a firm dough. Turn onto floured surface, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

In a large skillet, cook and stir apples in butter for 2 minutes. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon and add to skillet with apples. Cook 3 minutes longer. Reduce heat and cook 5 minutes longer, or until apples are tender.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Combine cheese topping ingredients in a bowl, set aside. To make streusel, mix sugar and flour. Cut in butter until crumbly.

Pat dough onto a greased pizza pan. Pinch edges up to create a lip. Spread with cheese topping, then add apple topping. Sprinkle with streusel. Bake 20-25 minutes. Can be served warm or cold.
