WHAT TO COOK WEDNESDAY???? How about a Washington Apple Pizza?!?

This recipe is taken from the Dr. Oz website. Today's show was on Cancer fighting foods. For obvious reasons I was intrigued by the title, Washington Apple and Pizza, three of my favorite things! Try it and modify it if you like, I know I can't wait to!


Washington Apple Pizza
This recipe’s calcium, found in mozzarella, and quercetin, found in apple may help prevent breast and lung cancers.

Ingredients
Makes 4 servings 
1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
3 tbsp sweet onion, minced
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
1/4 cup yellow bell pepper, diced
1 (16 oz) pre-cooked whole wheat pizza crust (think Bobolli folks)
1 Fuji, Jonagold or Golden Delicious apple, cored and thinly sliced
1/2 cup jarred sweet red pepper, thinly sliced
3/4 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions
Preheat oven to 425˚F. In a small bowl, combine ricotta cheese, onion, green and orange pepper; mix well. Spread on pizza crust. Layer apple and red pepper on top of ricotta mixture. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake about 9 to 11 minutes or until cheese melts and pizza is heated through.

  1. We get a lot of apples here in the fall and I am always looking for new apple recipes. This one actually looks really good. I love mixing apples with savory things like sharp cheddar, onion, and bacon grilled cheese. I am going to keep this one for the fall. Let me know if you make it and how you and the fam like it!

  3. I am even thinking of drizzling balsalmic vinegar over the top. Maybe even some pecans... I love experimenting
