Easy Apple Pie Pizza (Cinnamon Apple Dessert Pizza) Recipe

Introduction

This Easy Apple Pie Pizza is a delightful twist on classic apple pie, combining a crisp pizza crust with warm cinnamon apples and a buttery crumble topping. Finished with a sweet vanilla glaze, it’s a simple dessert that’s perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

• 1 Pizza Crust (shelf stable)
• 1 21 ounce can Apple Pie Filling
• ½ cup All Purpose Flour
• ½ cup Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• ¼ cup Old Fashioned Oats
• ½ cup Unsalted Butter (cold)
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1-2 tablespoon Whole Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350℉. If using a pizza stone instead of a baking sheet, place the stone in the oven while it preheats.
2. Step 2: Lay the pizza crust on a large plate, cutting board, or pizza peel. Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the crust, leaving a border around the edges bare.
3. Step 3: In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Cut in the cold butter with a butter knife or pastry cutter until the mixture forms clumps.
4. Step 4: Carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crumble topping is slightly darkened and no longer dry.
5. Step 5: While the pizza bakes, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract to create a smooth icing.
6. Step 6: Allow the pizza to cool slightly after baking, then drizzle the vanilla icing over the top. Slice and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use fresh apples sautéed with a bit of sugar and cinnamon if you prefer a homemade filling over canned.
• For extra crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts on the crumble topping before baking.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce instead of vanilla icing for a richer flavor.
• If you don’t have a pizza stone, a regular baking sheet works just fine—just watch for even baking.

Storage

Store leftover pizza in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a warm oven at 300℉ for 5-7 minutes to restore the crispness of the crust and crumble topping. The icing can be added fresh after reheating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use frozen pizza dough instead of a shelf stable crust?

Yes, frozen pizza dough works well. Just thaw and shape it before adding the filling and toppings.

Is this dessert suitable for a gluten-free diet?

This recipe uses all-purpose flour and a standard pizza crust, so it is not gluten-free as written. However, you can substitute with gluten-free flour and a gluten-free crust to accommodate dietary needs.

Pizza Base and Filling

• 1 Pizza Crust (shelf stable)
• 1 21 ounce can Apple Pie Filling

Crumble Topping

• ½ cup All Purpose Flour
• ½ cup Brown Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• ¼ cup Old Fashioned Oats
• ½ cup Unsalted Butter (cold)

Icing

• 1 cup Powdered Sugar
• 1–2 tablespoon Whole Milk
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Place your pizza stone in the oven if using one, and preheat the oven to 350℉ (175℃). This ensures even baking and a crisp crust.
2. Prepare the Pizza Crust and Apple Filling: Lay the pizza crust flat on a large plate, cutting board, or pizza peel. Evenly spread the canned apple pie filling on top of the crust, leaving a bare border around the edges to keep the crust elevated.
3. Make the Crumble Topping: In a bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Cut in the cold unsalted butter using a butter knife or pastry cutter until the mixture forms clumps and resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Bake the Pizza: Carefully slide the prepared pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place on a baking sheet if not using a stone. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crumble topping darkens slightly and no longer appears dry.
5. Prepare the Icing: While the pizza is baking, whisk together the powdered sugar, whole milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more for desired consistency), and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
6. Finish and Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven once baked. Allow it to cool slightly to let the topping set. Drizzle the vanilla icing evenly over the warm pizza before slicing into pieces and serving.

Notes

• If you don’t have a pizza stone, a regular baking sheet works just fine – just be sure to preheat the oven so the crust gets crisp.
• For a slightly crunchier crumble, you can add chopped nuts such as pecans or walnuts to the topping mixture.
• Adjust the milk quantity in the icing to achieve either a thicker drizzle or thinner glaze.
• Leftover pizza can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated gently for best texture.
• This dessert pizza is best served warm to enjoy the flavors and textures fully.
