To Make Crust:
2 1/2 cups flour
3 tablespoons sugar
1 package yeast
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup water
1/4 cup butter, cubed

Apple Topping:
4 1/2 cups sliced peeled tart apples
2 tablespoons butter
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Cheese Topping:
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons to 3 tablespoons milk to thin

Streusel:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed

In a large bowl, combine 11/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In a saucepan, heat water and butter until butter is melted. Let cool. Add to dry ingredients; beat for 2 minutes. Stir in remaining flour to form firm dough. Turn onto a floured surface; cover and let rest for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large sauce pan, cook apples and butter over medium heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Combine the sugar, flour and cinnamon; stir into sauce pan. Cook 3 minutes longer. Reduce heat to low; cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes or until apples are tender.

In a small bowl, combine room temperature cream cheese topping, brown sugar; beat with mixer until smooth and easy to spread. Add 2-3 tablespoons milk if mixture is too thick.

For streusel, in a small bowl, combine flour and sugar; cut in butter until crumbly.

Pat the crust dough onto a greased 14 inch pizza pan or cookie sheet, building up edges slightly. Spread with cheese topping, then apple topping. Sprinkle with streusel. Bake the Apple Pizza at 350 degrees for 25 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Serve warm or cold. Apple Pizza can be warmed in the microwave.
