On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the
puff pastry to a 12-by-10-inch rectangle, about 1/8-inch thick. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet lined with a nonstick-silicone baking mat. Chill for 30 minutes.
Set the oven rack in the middle position. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Cut the peeled and cored apples in half and cut into 1/2-inch thick vertical slices. Pour the applesauce onto the center of the dough, and using an offset
spatula, spread the sauce over the
dough, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Then in four tight overlapping rows lay the apple slices down over the applesauce. Brush the entire
pizza with the melted butter and
dust heavily with confectioners' sugar. Bake until golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes; rotating the sheet two-thirds of the way through the baking time. Transfer to a wire rack.
While the pizzette is still warm, in a small
saucepan, warm the
apricot jam over low heat until melted completely. Strain through a fine mesh
strainer. Brush the top of the pizzette with the strained jam. Using a pizza
wheel, cut into squares and serve warm.
Cook's Note: Try serving with whipped creme fraiche,
vanilla ice cream,
caramel ice cream or whipped
mascarpone cheese.

Delicious, simple and impressive...what more could you ask for???
We really love this apple pizza and have made it about 5 times in the last year. It is so darn easy and looks so impressive when presented, especially for a dinner party. We are actually low carbing but I roll out the pastry really thinly to reduce the carbs and served with a dollop of ice cream it is delicious. The apricot jam at the end adds the finishing touch although I didn't use a full cup. A touch of cinnamon might be a nice addition too.
