Sweet Surprise - Calzone With Caramelized Apples, Raisins And Pine Nuts

  1. Heat the oven to 500 F (260 C).
  2. Melt the butter in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, the raisins, the pine nuts and stir, to coat them all in butter. Cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring regularly, until the apple are golden brown, and are soft, but not soft enough to break down.
  3. Add the sugar, stir and cook for 3-5 minutes, or until the sugar has melted and has coated the fruits. Take off the fire and set aside.
  4. Using a dough roller, shape a disk as if you were preparing a pizza margherita (around 12 inches/30 cm). Place the dough on parchment paper. I usually put the parchment paper on a wood cutter, that I then use as a pizza peel to ease the parchment paper (and whatever is on it) into the oven.
  5. Place the apple mixture on one side of the dough, leaving at least 1 cm from the border. Pull the other side of the dough onto the filling, as if to make a turnover. Make sure the borders overlap, then seal them by rolling them up towards the filling, so as to avoid the filling to come out.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes on a preheated pizza stone or any pan. If you think the top of the calzone is becoming too brown, cover it with aluminium foil.
  7. Take it out, sift the confectionery sugar on top of it, cut it and enjoy it.
