I just love quick and easy recipes.
Sure, it’s fun to try a new technique or make a from-scratch recipe now and then, but for the most part, I like to stick with simple, quick, and “semi-homemade” type recipes. You know the ones I’m talking about… Scrumptious cakes made with a boxed cake mix, tarts made with crescent rolls, or even cookies made with a boxed brownie mix
This Easy Oktoberfest Pizza Recipe, inspired by the Pillsbury Bake-off winner, Sarah Campbell’s Oktoberfest Pizza recipe, is especially easy. The pizza starts out with a Package of refrigerated Pillsbury Pizza Crust Dough and just a few other ingredients.
The flavors of Gouda cheese, sausage, and Granny Smith apples come together to make this one yummy Oktoberfest-style pizza! The optional Arugula, with its bold, peppery flavor, really made the pizza stand out. (Kids picked it off, of course, but I thought it was great, lol.)

Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly sprinkle 18×13-inch sheet pan or large cookie sheet with flour.

- In the same skillet, cook shallot over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat.
- Evenly spread mustard over partially baked pizza crust to within 1/2 inch from the edges. Sprinkle half of the cheese onto the pizza crust. Top with sausage, apple slices, shallot, and remaining cheese.
- Brush edges of crust with beaten egg; sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted. To serve, top with arugula; cut into 8 slices.

OMG this looks delicious, I love the topping combination. I might have to substitute the Gauda forJarlsberg (a family favourite) but that would only be a subtle change.
I’m not sure I’ve ever tried Jarlsberg. I’ll have to look at that one as the gouda can sometimes be pricey.
