Dessert Pizza With Caramelized Apples

1. 1

   Put the yeast in a small bowl with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1/4 cup water and mix until dissolved. Meanwhile, gently melt 2 tbsp of the butter in a pan then add the milk. In a large bowl, mix the flour, egg, vanilla extract, 1 tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt. Slowly add the warm milk, then the yeast, mixing to create a smooth dough (you can use a food processor with a dough hook for this). Cover the dough and let rise in a warm place for about 30 mins.

   Meanwhile, drizzle the sliced apples with lemon juice. Heat 2 tbsp butter in a non-stick pan and sprinkle with 1/4 cup of sugar. After 1-2 mins the mixture will begin to caramelize. Toss the apples in the caramel, then remove from the pan and allow to cool.
