Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F.Prepare pizza dough by brushing with oil.Heat butter over medium heat in large pan. When the butter melts, add apples. Cook apples for 2-3 minutes, and then add orange juice. Cover and allow apples to soften. Remove apple slices from pan, and allow to cool.
- Sprinkle both cheeses across the pizza dough, leaving a thin border for the crust.If your crust is very small or very large, you might need to adjust the amount of cheese accordingly.
- Layer apples concentrically over cheese in a single layer. Keep in mind that each slice of apple should have cheese below it, otherwise the apple slices will slide off the pizza after baking. Avoid excessively overlapping the apple slices.
- In a small bowl, mix fig jam and half the hot water (or use a splash of leftover orange juice). Stir until jam dissolves into a syrup. Add more water if it's still too thick to pour. Drizzle fig mixture over pizza. Top pizza with pecans.
- Cook pizza 15-18 minutes, or until crust is golden and cheese has melted. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
