- Preheat the oven to Gas mark 6/200C/fan oven 170. Tip the dough onto a lightly floured surface and cut into quarters, knead briefly, cut each piece into 6 and form each into a ball and put onto 2 lightly oiled baking trays. Push and ease each ball into roughly a 6cm round.
- Mix the grated parmesan with the parsley and add a little to the top of each pizza.
- Divide the apple between them and crumble over the feta. Scatter over the pinenuts, pepper and spoon over a little oil. Bake for about 10 minutes until golden and crispy.

Pink Lady apples
Pink Lady apples have a distinctive crisp texture and fizzy flavour – similar to champagne. It takes 200 days of tender care and, once ripe, each apple undergoes a rigorous quality control process to ensure that the high standard is kept – only the best apples can become a Pink Lady apple. Pink Lady apples are perfect culinary apples as they retain their texture and unique flavour and little, if any, additional sugar needs to be added.
