We are loving living here in Georgia. The summer was great and it is so nice being close to our family. This past weekend I started missing Connecticut though, especially all of the beautiful apple orchards. When we were living there, we visited a different orchard almost every weekend in September. There is nothing like eating an apple straight from the tree and then taking a tractor ride back to your car. It is one of those special fall traditions I hope to keep doing with our kids. Now I need to find an orchard here in the south. In my attempt to clean up the office, I was clearing out some of my old food magazines. I came across this recipe in a Food Network Magazine from years ago. The article had several ideas for using apples and thought it this would be perfect to make for a quick dinner. Of course, I had to change a few things to give it my own spin.
I used a pizza dough from my local grocery store. They keep the dough by the cold cakes in the bakery section. You can also use a canned or homemade dough. The ham I used was sliced in the deli and then I cut it into shreds.
To add a little color and make me feel good about eating some vegetables, I topped the pizza with some arugula. It added a nice peppery flavor.
