1. 1. Preheat the Oven:

      • • Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat.

1. 1. Prepare the Flatbread:

      • • Place the flatbread on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or directly on a clean oven-safe pizza stone for a crisper crust.

1. 1. Olive Oil Base:

      • • Using a brush or your fingers, evenly spread 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the surface of the flatbread. This will help it get crispy and add flavor.

1. 1. Add Cheese:

      • • Evenly sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the flatbread, leaving a small border around the edges for a pizza-like crust.

1. 1. Layer the Apples:

      • • Arrange thin slices of apple over the cheese. Ensure they’re spread evenly for consistent flavor in each bite.

1. 1. Add Prosciutto:

      • • Tear 2-3 slices of prosciutto into smaller pieces and distribute them over the apple slices.

1. 1. Season:

      • • Lightly sprinkle salt, black pepper, and the optional thyme or rosemary over the top to enhance the flavors.

1. 1. Bake:

      • • Put the flatbread in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden and crispy.

1. 1. Final Toppings:

      • • Once baked, remove the flatbread from the oven carefully. Immediately top with fresh arugula or baby spinach for freshness and nutrients.

1. 1. Drizzle:

      • • Optionally, drizzle a small amount of balsamic glaze or honey over the top of the arugula for a touch of sweetness and acidity.

1. 1. Serve:

      • • Use a pizza cutter or sharp knife to slice the flatbread into pieces. It's best served warm as a delicious appetizer.

By following these steps, you'll create a delightful and healthy appetizer that combines sweet and savory flavors with a satisfying crunch. Enjoy your Apple Prosciutto Flatbread Pizza!
