Equipment

  • 1 Baking pan

Ingredients

For the ring

  • 1 Pre made, circle shaped pie crust of your choice
  • 3 Medium sized apples, peeled and sliced about 1/8' thick
  • 1 tbsp Turbinado sugar or coarse cut sugar
  • 1 tbsp Avocado oil or egg wash

For the date caramel

  • 10 Dates, soak in warm water for 10 minutes then drain
  • 1/3 C Hot water
  • 1-2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • 1 Pinch Salt
  • 1 tbsp Maple syrup
  • 1 Pinch Cinnamon

Instructions

  • Pre heat oven to 425F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator so it comes up to room temperature
  • Put your dates in warm water for 10 minutes to soften and then drain the water.
  • Peel and slice your apples
  • Make the date caramel by combining all the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth
  • Gently roll your pie dough out on the parchment paper.
  • Place a small bowl in the center of the dough (the one I used is about 4'' in diameter)
  • Spread the date caramel on the dough around the bowl
  • Lay the apples on top of the caramel. Don't overlap the apples because they won't cook all the way through.
  • Gently roll the edges of the dough upward to cover the edges of the apples
  • Remove the bowl from the center. Using a sharp knife cute the center vertically, horizontally and then into pizza slices. (please watch video for better explanation)
  • Take the point side of those slices and bend it backwards to cover the apples
  • Brush the dough with olive oil. Sprinkle turbinado sugar over the dough
  • Bake for about 24 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve with whipped cream or ice cream
