HAM, CHEDDAR, AND APPLE BUTTER OPEN-FACED SANDWICHES (OR PIZZA)
This is published in the October 2004 Bon Appetit as open-faced sandwiches, but I make this as a 12-inch pizza (a big, round, open-faced sandwich?). I wasn't sure whether we would like the sweetness of the apple butter, but there is enough savory/salty flavor in the rest of the recipe that it works well (I probably used more Dijon, though, and less apple butter, than called for in the recipe). In pizza format, it is good with some sauteed onion and some very well wrung out thawed frozen spinach added. I think this is a recipe that depends a lot on the types of ingredients used; since it has the apple butter, sweeter mustards and milder cheeses would probably not be as good. The relative proportions of Dijon and apple butter (and meat and cheese) can be adjusted for personal taste.

Steps:
- Brush cut side of rolls with oil.
- Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet, and broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. For pizza, use crust of choice, brush with a light coating of oil, and prebake.
- Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. For pizza, spread the mustard over the whole crust and add the apple butter as small dollops (over whole crust).
- Top with ham, then cheese (if using onion/spinach addition, add after ham or any desired order).
- Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots (2 minutes for sandwiches; if baking a pizza, probably 7 to 8 minutes--not under broiler--are fine depending on the directions for the dough used). It is good if some of the edges of the sliced meat get a little singed!
- Optional: sprinkle with chopped chives. Black pepper is a good addition at the end as well.

Steps:
- 1. Stretch pizza dough onto pizza stone dusted with corn meal (optional, makes for a crunchy crust). Saute onions in 1 tbsp olive oil. Add thyme, mustard and white wine vinegar. Cook until onions start to turn slightly brown. Salt and pepper to taste...1/8 tsp each.
- 2. Preheat grill to 475 or oven to same. Sprinkle onion onto dough and evenly spread. Then place spinach leaves overlapping to cover pie. Place sliced apples over spinach sprinkle with salt, black pepper and red pepper... If using...Then top with cheddar cheese and ham ribbons.
- 3. Cook for 8-10 minutes (oven might need 3-5 more minutes) or until crispy and enjoy :)
Tips:
- Use a variety of apples. This will give your pizza a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
- Thinly slice the apples. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Use a good quality cheddar cheese. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your pizza.
- Don't overload the pizza with toppings. This will make it difficult to cook and may cause the crust to become soggy.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.
