    Equipment

    • 10" cast iron skillet

    Ingredients

    • pizza dough https://www.dutchovendaddy.com/quick-pizza-dough
    • ½ cup cinnamon sugar
    • 3 tablespoons butter
    • 4 apples finely chopped
    • ¼ cup brown sugar
    • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
    • ⅛ teaspoon salt
    US Standard - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350°F
    • Lightly oil a 10 inch skillet
    • Cut dough into small pieces and roll into loose balls. 
    • Dredge dough in the cinnamon sugar making sure to completely cover.
    • Place cinnamon balls in skillet making sure to push them close together to cover the whole skillet. 
    • In a separate skillet melt butter. Add cinnamon, brown sugar, salt and apples.
    • Saute until apples are softened. 
    • Pour apple mixture on top of cinnamon balls and put in oven.
    • Bake at 350 for 30 mins.Let cool and drizzle caramel on top.

    Notes

    • Use crisp apples like Granny Smith to keep your baked caramel apple slices from turning mushy during baking.
    • Roll dough balls evenly and coat fully in cinnamon sugar for a sweet, golden finish every time.
    • Don’t overcook the apples when sauteing—softened, not mushy, is what you want before baking.
    • Let the dish cool slightly before adding caramel so the topping stays thick and gooey instead of running off.
