  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 1 flatbread pizza

Ingredients

Flatbread

  • 1 naan flatbread
  • Micro arugula (or baby arugula as substitute)
  • 4 ounces brie cheese
  • 1 tablespoon pomegranate arils
  • Pinch of fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tablespoon olive oil

Cinnamon Apples

  • 1 pazzaz apple, diced or thinly sliced
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon pistachios, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Toast the Naan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C). Brush the naan flatbread lightly with olive oil using a pastry brush. Place it directly on the middle oven rack and toast for 5-6 minutes until it begins to turn golden brown. Don’t worry if the naan softens before toasting; this is normal.
  2. Prepare the Cinnamon Apples: In a small bowl, combine nutmeg, cinnamon, brown sugar, and salt. Add the diced or thinly sliced apples and toss to coat well. Then mix in the honey and vanilla extract ensuring the apples are evenly coated.
  3. Cook the Apples: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once melted, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the spiced apples. Toss to coat them in butter and spices, then cover and cook for 5-8 minutes until the apples are slightly softened and fragrant. If using diced apples, you may want to cook them 1-2 minutes longer for tenderness.
  4. Top with Brie and Melt: Remove the toasted naan from the oven. Cut the brie into roughly 2-inch chunks and evenly arrange them on top of the naan. Season with freshly cracked black pepper. Place the naan on an oven-safe baking sheet and put it back into the oven for about 1-2 minutes until the brie melts.
  5. Assemble the Flatbread: Sprinkle a pinch of fresh thyme over the melted brie, then layer with micro arugula, the warm cinnamon apples, and pomegranate arils. For extra texture and flavor, sprinkle with roughly chopped pistachios. Optionally, finish with a drizzle of balsamic reduction before serving.

Notes

  • Use micro arugula for a delicate peppery bite; baby arugula is a great substitute if micro greens are unavailable.
  • Adjust apple cooking time depending on size and cut—diced apples require slightly longer cooking than thin slices.
  • Toasted naan softens initially but will crisp once baked with toppings.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute brie with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Balsamic reduction drizzle adds a sweet tangy finish but is optional.
  • Serve immediately while the brie is warm and gooey for best texture and flavor.
