Yumm!

I've been experimenting in the kitchen again and I have come up with a couple of INCREDIBLE new recipes. Here goes:

Apple Pie Pizza
1 pizza dough
4 oz cream cheese
1 TBLS sugar
1 can apple pie filling*
1/4 cup quick oats
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, cold
1 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 TBLS milk
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll out pizza crust on cookie sheet.
In a bowl combine cream cheese and sugar until well mixed. Spread on dough.
Spread pie filling on top.
In another bowl combine oats, flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it resembles peas. Sprinkle on top of the apple filling.
Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Remove from oven, allow to cool.
Stir together powdered sugar, vanilla and milk. Stir until a glaze, and then drizzle over the pizza. Eat!


Spinach and Ham Braid
1 recipe for foccacia bread or pizza dough
1 box frozen spinach, thawed and drained of water
1 onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup ham or bacon, chopped
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup shredded cheese

Roll the dough out on a cookie sheet and cut slits 1 inch apart down the long sides of the cookie sheet and going into the center 1/3 the width of the pan (about 4").
In a pan sautee onion and garlic in a little bit of EVOO or butter. When the onions are transluscent add the spinach, soup and ham. Mix until the spinach is just heated through, about 2 minutes.
Spread the spinach mixture down the center of the dough and sprinkle the cheese on top, then braid the dough using the cut strips.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.
