Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

In a pan over medium high heat, melt butter, add in apple. Cook apples for 4 minutes, add in vanilla, sugar, and water. Lower temperature to medium low. Allow apples to cook for an additional 6-8 minutes while stirring occasionally or until apples become tender enough to pierce through with a fork. Set apples into a bowl aside to allow to cool.

On a floured surface roll pizza dough into a 15x9 inch (give or take) rectangle. Cut off the edges to make sure it's straight.

Spread caramel sauce over the pizza dough, sprinkle with apples and top with chocolate chips.

With a pizza cutter, lengthwise cut into six even strips, make two separate stacks of three strips. Take the pizza cutter and cut each strap width wise into three equal squares.

Take a well greased 9x5 inch loaf pan, turn it vertically and stack the squares into the loaf pan.

Bake for 30-35 minutes or until bread is deeply brown (not burnt).

Remove from heat, allow bread to completely cool for about an hour.

Drizzle with additional caramel topping, if desired.
