Apple Basil Honey Mozzarella Pizza

Sweet apples meet melty mozzarella, a drizzle of honey, and a hit of basil. It’s gooey, sweet, salty. Make it.

Quick Tips

• Use Honeycrisp or Fuji apples, they hold up well and keep that sweet crunch even after baking.

• Don’t skip the prebake on your dough, it keeps the crust crisp and stops it from getting soggy under the apples.

• If you’ve got fresh basil, tear it over the top right before serving for a pop of flavor.

• A light drizzle of balsamic glaze or hot honey at the end takes it to another level.

• Try swapping mozzarella for brie if you want a richer, creamier bite.
