List of Ingredients
CRUST
2 2/3 cups bread flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 package Fleischmann's� Rapid Rise Yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter (1 stick) -- cut up
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
TOPPING
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons bread flour
1/4 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon Calvados (apple brandy)

2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 cups thinly sliced, cored and peeled apples (about 2 medium apples)

Recipe
To make crust: In large bowl, combine 1 cup flour, sugar, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat butter, milk, and water until very warm (120 to 130�F). Butter does not need to melt. Gradually stir into dry ingredients. Stir in eggs and remaining flour to make soft dough. Knead 5 minutes. (Dough will be buttery; do not add additional flour.) With floured hands, press dough to form 12-inch circle on lightly greased pizza pan or cookie sheet. Cover; let rest 30 minutes.
To make topping: In small bowl, combine sugar and flour. Gradually add cream and Calvados or vanilla extract; stir until smooth. Set aside.
Preheat oven to 400�F.
Form 3/4-inch high rim along edge of dough. Arrange apples on dough, overlapping slightly; carefully spoon cream mixture over top. Bake on middle oven rack 18 to 22 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are almost tender. Remove from pan; place on wire rack to cool slightly. Spread apricot preserves over top.
