Pear Pizza

Yup, pears on a pizza. This is a deliciously light and refreshing pizza that can be served warm out of the oven, cold out of the fridge, or lukewarm sitting out at a buffet.

Ingredients: 16 oz Pizza dough (I like the packaged Trader Joes plain pizza dough, but any pre-made pizza dough or dough recipe will work) 4 oz Apple sauce 6 Canned pear halves 6 T Goat cheese (optional) 6 oz Candied pecans or walnuts (optional) 1 T Cinnamon sugar Preheat the oven to 450 degrees
	Shape the pizza dough to fit your pizza pan (or cookie sheet). (I use a small cookie sheet so I cut the dough and all the other ingredients in half and make two pizzas.) Place the dough on a lightly oiled pizza pan. Prick the dough all over with a fork so you get a nice crisp crust.
	Spread the apple sauce over the dough.
	Very thinly slice the pear halves and spread over the dough. Crumble goat cheese on top. (This is optional, but it does add a hint of savory to the sweet.) Dot with candied pecans or walnuts. (Again, the nuts are optional.)
	Dust the top with about 1 tablespoon of cinnamon sugar. (More or less to taste.)
	Bake at 450 degrees for about 10 minutes or until the crust is a light brown. (Note: You may need to increase the cooking time slightly as this is a very "wet" pizza.)
