Who knew? Butternut squash makes a silky-smooth and full-flavored pizza sauce, and the perfectly creamy base for this fall-inspired pie. Scrumptious as is, but you can also make individual size pizzas and add gouda or mozzarella for the cheese-eaters and cooked, crumbled sausage for the carnivores. Win!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Make the sauce. Fill a large saucepan halfway full of water and set over high heat. Add butternut squash. Bring to a boil and cook until fork-tender, 6-7 minutes.
- Drain squash in a colander and let cool for a couple of minutes. Add to the pitcher of a high-speed blender or the bowl of a food processor fitted with the S-blade. Add the remaining ingredients and puree until smooth. If the sauce needs to be thinned out a bit, add some more olive oil, about a teaspoon at a time.
- Spread the dough into your desired shape and thickness on a cookie sheet or pizza stone. Add butternut squash sauce and spread with a spoon. Layer with apples, then onions, then pecans. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle a couple pinches of salt over the top.
- Bake until the crust is golden and cooked through, the apples and onion are tender, and the pecans are toasted but not burned, about 10 minutes.
- Top with fresh thyme if desired. Cut into wedges and serve.
