Just...no, @shain. It's pizza not dessert!

 

 

Firstly, I do like dessert pizzas (I often make one with ricotta, mozzarella and figs, as well as one with peaches, cream, fresh mozzarella and basil). They make a wonderful dessert.

However, this pizza is nothing dessert like, I use tart granny smith apples which lends fruity tartness and mild sweetness, both goes well with blue cheese. Putting caramelized onions on there (for example) would have been much sweeter, but not considered dessert like. It's the association of apples to dessert which makes it seem as such, not the necessarily the flavor. There are many such examples - beans made into (delicious) anko paste, avocado is made into shakes, lard used in sweet pastry, chocolate and cookies added to mole, fruit preserves and sauces served with meat and poultry, chicken is coated in caramel sauce.

Also, I took the idea from a small local pizzeria in Northern Italy, so I have the approval of at least some Italians :P
