Instructions

  1. Based on your crust’s instructions, preheat your oven. My crust needed to be baked at 425 degrees, for example.

     

  2. Then heat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat with nothing in it. Add the pecans and stir frequently until you start to smell them. Then turn off the heat, and add the coconut palm sugar to the pan and stir until it starts to melt and coats the pecans giving them a crunchy, sugar coating. Transfer the pecans to a bowl until you’re ready for them.

     

  3. In the same pan (you can wipe it out with a paper towel if you need to), heat it over medium heat with a little grapeseed or olive oil. Then add the sausage to the pan and break it into bite-sized chunks. Cook for a couple of minutes to brown and then stir again and cook another couple of minutes until the sausage is fully cooked. Transfer it to a paper towel lined plate and let it drain and cool slightly.

     

  4. Now it’s time to put the pizza together, so first brush the pizza crust with olive oil. Then spoon your marinara/pizza sauce over the pizza using as much as you’d like. Next top with sliced onions, then the sausage, then lay the sliced apple across the pizza and finally top with a sprinkle of the pecans over the top. You can also add cheese at this point, if you desire.

     

  5. Bake the pizza according to your crust’s instructions. I baked mine for 12-14 minutes until the crust was starting to brown and the edges of the apples were getting a little color.

     

  6. Once the pizza is done, let it rest at least 1 minute before slicing it up. Then enjoy!

Notes

Quick Tip #1: Since we're skipping the cheese, make sure that you're choose quality ingredients especially with a marinara/pizza sauce you really like!

Quick Tip #2: For a lighter version, you could sub out Italian sausage for ground turkey or chicken!
