Vegan Apple Tart

A friend of ours has gone vegan for Lent and when we decided to get together for dinner, she tasked us with dessert. Actually, what she said was that we should just plan on dessert for us because it's next to impossible to find vegan dessert. Do I hear a challenge? Luckily, I recently had a delicious dessert at my neighbor's house that just so happened to be vegan. Ha! Take that! It's actually quite tasty and since it's apples and whole wheat bread, I don't feel guilty eating it. 


Vegan Apple Tart
1 batch pizza dough
4 large apples (I used red delicious since that's what they were selling as the "seconds" at the farmer's market that week)
juice of one lemon
1 tblsp sugar (or more to taste)
cinnamon (to taste)
Prepare pizza dough. Cut apples into 1/4 inch slices. Put in bowl with lemon juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Shape and place on a cookie pan or casserole dish. Layer apple slices on the dough. (You can do this either functionally or artfully. I'm pretty bad at the artful stuff. I alternated mine in rows of slices with the curved side facing the same direction. Right. That makes perfect sense to me.) Sprinkle top with a little bit of sugar and cinnamon. Bake at 400 until crust and apples look delicious and lightly browned.
