• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Combine yeast and 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment. Add 2 tablespoons sugar, olive oil, and salt; mix until smooth. Add 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon cinnamon; mix until just combined and dough forms a ball. Allow to rest, about 15 minutes.
• Combine 1 cup water, 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Add apples; cook and stir until tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Mix remaining 1/3 cup water and cornstarch together in a bowl until dissolved; pour into saucepan with apples. Stir continuously until filling is thickened, about 3 minutes; remove from heat.
• Place dough on the baking sheet; stretch to cover most of the sheet. Poke the surface all over with a fork. Distribute 1/2 cup brown sugar over the dough; spread apple filling on top.
• Beat butter in a bowl until fluffy. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2/3 cup flour, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg until topping is just combined. Sprinkle topping over pizza.

Steps:

• For the dough: Stir together yeast, 1 cup warm water and 1 teaspoon granulated sugar to a stainless steel bowl. Whisk together and let sit for 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add flour, oil, salt, remaining 1/2 cup water, 2 teaspoons sugar and yeast mixture to a stand mixer and stir to incorporate. Mix together on medium speed until all ingredients have been mixed well, 5 to 8 minutes. Portion dough into four 1-pound pieces and place in 4 freezer bags. Freeze immediately to stop the rising process. Dough is ready to use after 30 minutes in freezer. Thaw fully before using.
• For the apple filling: Melt 7 tablespoons butter in a 4-quart pot. Add apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring mixture frequently to avoid scorching, until al dente.
• Meanwhile, make a roux by melting remaining tablespoon butter in a small skillet over medium-low heat. Once butter is melted, add flour. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring, until golden brown. Remove from heat.
• Add roux to apple mixture, little at a time, until desired consistency is achieved. Transfer apples to a cookie sheet to cool.
• For the cinnamon glaze: Place candy in a saucepan and enough water to cover. Let stand until candy has mostly dissolved, then heat mixture to a medium boil, stirring frequently. Cook until a thin syrup-like texture is achieved, about 15 minutes. (Candy mixture is extremely hot and can cause severe burns! Handle with care! If mixture is too thin, cook a little longer; if mixture is too thick, add a little more water.) Let cool and pour into a squeeze bottle.
• For the doughboy: Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Roll a 5- to 6-ounce ball of thawed dough into a 4-inch square. Place 2 tablespoons apple filling in center of dough.
