Photo: Layered Pear Pizza with Ricotta, Apricot Preserves, and Granola Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup apricot preserves
- 1 (9 or 10-inch) refrigerated pie crust
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
- 2 or 3 ripe pears, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granola
- Mint, to garnish, if desired
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a bowl, microwave the apricot preserves for 15 seconds.
Unroll the refrigerated pie crust onto a large baking sheet. Spread the ricotta cheese all over pie crust, to within 1/4-inch of the edges. Top ricotta with pear slices, slightly fanning out the pears. Brush pears with apricot preserves.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Top the pizza with granola just before serving and garnish with fresh mint, if desired.

This is a great recipe if you like eating raw pie dough and overcooked pears. I followed the recipe exactly and I had to cook it for 30 minutes before I gave up. The crust never cooked, completely raw in the middle, and the pears ended up getting overcooked.
I should have read the reviews before I cooked it. I think if you prebake the crust there might be a chance of this recipe working.
It was a waste of my time and money.

I did everything to a T but it failed miserably!! The crust didn't fully bake within the time it was suppossed to and it started to burn at the edges upon adding 3 additional minutes in the oven. Will not make it again!!!!

I followed directions, but the crust came out raw in the middle. I would suggest pre-baking the crust. I also added peaches on top of the pears. Very good!
