Old Fashioned Candy Apple Pizza

 Fall reminds me of a lot of fall flavors like candy corn, pumpkin pies and candy apples.  I remember sinking my teeth into a huge candy apple and loving the sourness of the apple and the sweet gooeyness of the caramel on the outside.  This is a new twist on pizza, besides the fruit pizzas … Continue reading
