  • 1.25 cup warm water for dough
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar for dough
  • 2.25 tsp instant yeast for dough
  • 0.25 cup olive oil for dough
  • 3 cup all-purpose flour for dough
  • 1.5 tsp fine sea salt for dough
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for pan
  • 2 cup diced apples peeled, 1/2-inch pieces
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter for skillet apples
  • 0.33 cup light brown sugar packed
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon for apples
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg for apples
  • 1 tsp lemon juice for apples
  • 2 tbsp turbinado sugar for sprinkle, optional
  • 1 cup powdered sugar for glaze
  • 2 tbsp milk for glaze
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract for glaze
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt pinch, for glaze

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Grease a 9x13 pan with 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  • Stir warm water and sugar until dissolved.
  • Sprinkle in yeast; let stand until foamy, 5 minutes.
  • Add flour, salt, and 1/4 cup oil; mix until shaggy.
  • Knead briefly with oiled hands until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Cover and rise until puffy, 45–60 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a skillet; add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  • Cook until apples soften and turn syrupy, 6–8 minutes; stir in lemon.
  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • Stretch dough into the pan; dimple deeply with fingertips.
  • Spoon apples and pan juices over dough; sprinkle turbinado sugar.
  • Rest 15 minutes while the oven finishes heating.
  • Bake until golden and crisp at the edges, 22–26 minutes.
  • Whisk powdered sugar, milk, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
  • Cool focaccia 10 minutes; drizzle glaze. Slice and serve warm.

Notes

Swap pears for apples, or add 1/2 cup chopped pecans before baking. Only have active dry yeast? Bloom it in the warm water for 10 minutes first. Want maple vibes? Replace milk with maple syrup in the glaze. For a crisper bottom, use a metal pan and don’t skimp on the oil. Leftovers reheat great at 300°F for 5–8 minutes.
