     1 tb Cornmeal


    10 oz Refrigerated pizza dough 1


          -pkg


     4    Golden Delicious apples


          -1-1/2 lbs; peeled halved


          -and cored


   1/4 c  Sugar; granulated


   3/4 ts Ground cinnamon

 Preheat oven to 375F. Spray a 14-in.-round pizza pan or large baking sheet


 with oil and sprinkle with cornmeal.


 


 Roll out pizza dough to a 14-in. circle on a lightly floured surface with
a


 lightly floured rolling pin. Transfer to the prepared pan.


 


 Cut apples into thin slices (1/4 in. to 1/2 in.). Starting at the outer


 edge and working toward the center, arrange the slices on pizza dough,


 overlapping slightly in smaller and smaller circles until the surface is


 covered. The apple layer should be at least as thick as the crust.


 


 Combine sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle mixture evenly over


 apples and bake about 30 minutes, or until crust is golden brown.


 


 Meanwhile, combine preserves and liqueur in a small saucepan and cook over


 low heat, until preserves dissolve.


 


 To serve, remove the pizza from the oven, brush with warm apricot glaze and


 cut into wedges.

 Notes: Pizza dough contains a lot less fat than a buttery pastry ? this


 twist on an apple tart contains just one gram of fat per serving.
