Easy Make-Ahead Apple Recipes for Your Pizza Stone or Bar Pan

[sunnygirl in nd]

I'm looking for a simple apple recipe that I can make ahead of time on a pizza stone or a bar pan. This will be my first show. I'm doing 3 chicken recipes - using the beef ones and substituting as someone else did. I tested them and they were great. I'd like to have a dessert already made to showcase the stones and I have a lot of apples. I'm starting to get nervous.

Taffy apple pizza

My SIL took 2 pastry crusts, 1 can of apple pie filling, and brown sugar. Put the crust on the med handled stone, put 1/2 can of pie filling and brown sugar on, then baked for 20 minutes or so. We put the 2nd one on a round pizza stone. I think she made a simple powder sugar glaze to go over the top. It was pretty good with our Chili.

You can always take crescent rolls and put apple pie filling on the big side and roll them closed. Cook for the amount of time that is called for on the can.
I add a simple powdered sugar glaze.
Too simple!!
