🛒 Ingredients (Check Off As You Measure)

• 3 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for drizzling
• 2 medium apples, peeled and diced (about 2 cups)
• 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for glaze, optional)

🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, yeast, salt, and granulated sugar. Add warm water and olive oil, then stir until a shaggy dough forms.
2. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled.
3. While dough rises, toss diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl. Set aside.
4. Preheat oven to 425°F. Press risen dough into a generously oiled 9x13-inch baking sheet, dimpling with your fingers. Scatter the apple mixture evenly over the top, pressing lightly.
5. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden and crisp at the edges. Cool slightly, then drizzle with powdered sugar glaze if using. Serve warm.
