    This is part two of our two part "Amish blue cheese celebration."     Rachel created a delicious pizza with this recipe, which combines the crisp taste of autumn apples with the bite of blue cheese, Salemville Amish Blue cheese.  I'll be honest, I was skeptical about this one. I am a pizza purist: tomato sauce, veggies, cheese...don't mess with my pizza, certainly don't pollute with fruit.  But this was good! It really was, the flavors really melded well and worked.   The final pizza is above with some process shots below.
