1 envelope pizza crust yeast
2 Tbsp. sugar
³/₄ tsp. salt
²/₃ C. very warm water (120° to 130°F)*
3 Tbsp. Crisco^® Pure Vegetable Oil

Toppings:

2 tart green apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced
¹/₃ C. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. Clabber Girl^® Corn Starch
¹/₂ tsp. Spice Islands® Ground Saigon Cinnamon
1-¹/₂ Tbsp. butter OR margarine, melted
1-¹/₂ Tbsp. light corn syrup
1 tsp. Spice Islands® Pure Vanilla Extract
¹/₄ C. chopped peanuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
Combine 1 C. flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Add very warm water and oil; mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Gradually add enough remaining flour to make a soft dough. Dough should form a ball and will be slightly sticky. Knead** on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes.
Pat dough with floured hands to fill greased pizza pan (with a rim) or baking sheet. OR roll dough on a floured counter to 12-inch circle; place in greased pizza pan or baking sheet. Form a rim by pinching the edge of the dough. Use a fork to dock the crust every inch or so.
Arrange apples in concentric circles on crust. Combine brown sugar, corn starch and cinnamon in a small bowl; mix well. Stir in butter, corn syrup and vanilla. Dollop over apples. Sprinkle with peanuts.
