Maple Breakfast Pizza

1 pkg. Maple Flavor Pork Sausage
1 8.5 oz can crescent rolls
1 egg, lightly beaten
4 oz cream cheese, softened
1-1/2 cups Granny Smith apples, peeled and chopped
2 tbs sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 F. In large skillet, cook sausage over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until thoroughly cooked and no longer pink. Separate crescent rolls into eight triangles. Place in ungreased 12” rimmed pizza pan with points toward the center. Press together, seal perforations and form a circle 1” larger in diameter than bottom of pan. Turn edges under to make a slight rim. In small bowl, combine beaten egg and cream cheese. Whisk until smooth. Pour evenly over pizza. Toss apples with sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle cooked sausage evenly over cream cheese mixture. Top with apples. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Sprinkle with pecans if desired. Bake for 15-20 minutes or crust is golden brown.
Makes 1 pizza, 6-8 servings
