Apple Crisp Dessert Pizza on a Pie-Crust Base (Print-Friendly Version)

Apple crisp dessert pizza is a shallow pie-crust base covered with cinnamon apples, oat crumbs and caramel. It uses pastry, not yeast pizza dough. The important checks are underneath the crust, inside a thick apple slice and across the crumb topping. A golden surface cannot tell you whether the bottom is still pale or the apples retain a hard center.

# Ingredients You’ll Need:

→ Crust and Apple Layer

01 - 1 single-crust pie dough

02 - 2/3 cup granulated sugar

03 - 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

04 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

05 - 4 medium baking apples, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch wedges

→ Topping

06 - 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

07 - 1/3 cup packed brown sugar

08 - 1/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

10 - 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

11 - 1/4 to 1/2 cup caramel topping or caramel apple dip

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat to 375°F and prepare a pizza pan or rimmed baking sheet suitable for the dough.

02 - Roll the single pie crust to about 1/4-inch thickness, keeping the size within what the dough can cover without tearing. Place it on the pan.

03 - Combine 2/3 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour and 1 teaspoon cinnamon in a mixing bowl.

04 - Peel and core the apples, cut similar half-inch wedges, and toss with the sugar mixture.

05 - Arrange coated apples in a shallow, even layer over the pastry, leaving a small clear edge. Do not force excess fruit into a deep pile.

06 - In a second bowl combine the topping’s half cup flour, brown sugar, oats and remaining cinnamon.

07 - Work softened butter into the topping until it forms coarse clumps rather than a smooth paste.

08 - Distribute the topping over the fruit without packing it tightly.

09 - Bake about 35–40 minutes as a starting window. Check that thick apple slices are tender, the underside is baked and the crumbs are golden; continue with a loose shield if needed.

10 - Let the fruit settle before cutting. Drizzle the measured caramel over the dessert or individual servings and use a broad server to lift slices.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - No. This formula uses one single-crust pie dough.

02 - Use the diameter the dough can reach at the stated thickness. A fixed diameter is not established for every packaged or homemade crust.
