Ingredients
- 1 ball whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 apples (Honeycrisp or Gala), thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ small red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella or Fontina cheese
- ¼ cup crumbled goat cheese or feta (optional)
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme or rosemary
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Arugula, for topping (optional)
- Balsamic glaze, for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it heats.
- Roll out the whole wheat dough on a floured surface to desired thickness. Transfer to a baking sheet or pizza peel.
- Brush the dough lightly with olive oil.

- Arrange the apple slices and red onion evenly on top.
- Add crumbled goat cheese or feta, if using, and sprinkle with thyme or rosemary.
- Season with salt and black pepper.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with balsamic glaze and top with arugula, if desired.
- Slice and serve warm.
Notes
- Toss apple slices in lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Use blue cheese instead of goat cheese for a stronger flavor.
- Add chopped nuts for crunch.
- Top with arugula after baking for freshness.
- Drizzle with hot honey for a sweet and spicy finish.
