Apple Pizza: A Doozie of a Desserrt
How to Make Apple Pizza
This is an apple pizza recipe I whipped up because I LOVE the apple dessert pizzas that all of the pizza chains have. I got to thinking that it would have to be a quick and easy recipe for them to make them on such a large scale. After taking a few minutes to wrap my head around it and dream up the ingredients, I went shopping and made a Southern Plate version of Apple Pizza Dessert.
Ingredients For Apple Pizza Dessert
You’re gonna need:
- Pizza crust,
- Apple pie filling,
- Cinnamon,
- Quick oats,
- Flour,
- Brown sugar,
- Butter
For the glaze on top you’ll also need
- Confectioner’s sugar,
- milk, and
- vanilla.
Most pizza crusts I buy come in two packs so this is a great time to mosey on over and make Taco Pizza, first then serve this for dessert. Good eatin!
*Tips for using fresh apples after the recipe card below.
- First off, open that can of pie filling.
- You’ll notice most of the apples are in slices in there so we want to dice them up a bit so they’ll spread better.
- What I do is take a long bladed knife and stick it down in the center, then pull it to the side.
- Repeat this over and over and you dice up the apples in the can with no mess.
- Now take out one of those pizza crusts and put it on a baking sheet.
- Spread the pie filling over the top of the crust.
- In a small bowl, place brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and oats.
- Stir to combine.
Cut up 1/2 stick of margarine (or butter) and place in the bowl.
Using a long tined fork, cut that into the dry mixture until it looks like this.
- So you can cut the butter in until it looks like this or you can just cut it in until you get tired of fooling with it. Pizza will still be good. ~shrugs~ I’m easy to please.
- Take that topping and sprinkle it all over your apple pizza pie filling and crust.
This bowl I’m using is a Pyrex one in a pattern called “Gooseberry Pink”. The style of bowl is called “Cinderella”. Cinderella bowls had two handles on them , one slightly larger than the other, and they were raised on the sides so that the handles could be used as pouring spouts. If you scroll up and look at the top view photos of the bowl you’ll see what I mean.
Ok, back to the recipe…
- Here is our apple pizza all ready to bake
- Place it in a 350 degree oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Making the Glaze
- To make our glaze, place one cup of confectioner’s sugar in a bowl and..
- Add about two tablespoons of milk.
You can add more if you need to but start with this, you’ll be surprised at how far it goes once you start stirring.
- Stir that up good and add your vanilla
- Stir again
- Use your spoon to drizzle the icing over the top.
Here’s your slice. Can’t you just taste the wonderful flavors?
Let pizza cool for about five minutes or so before eating
(just enough so you don’t burn the tar out of your mouth when you take a bite)

Oh and I have to agree the Nashville flea market is always a blast to go to!
Wow this looks and sounds great! Will have to try it soon! Oh which kind of oats!!
Now could you make the other one that the pizza places make? The cinnamon one??? Hubby likes that one and I like the apple one. Thought I could make one and do half apple and the other have cinnamon. Thanks!!
I just use whatever oats I have on hand, any kind will work.
Hey, Next time you go to that flea market in Nashville……take me with you! 🙂
You are going to love it Angela!!!
This ain’t nothing but one big ole YUM! I had to get pizza crusts cause my hubby has been after me to make a breakfast pizza. Finally scored on that recipe and I knew I had a crust left and I had eyed this recipe for some time. So I made it…and nom nom nom…it is good and so simple. Those that have suggested caramel…I figure that would be good too. The only think I was missing was a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Thank you Christy for another great recipe!
Oh goodness, I am so glad to hear you liked it!!!!
This looks like something we would love…..I’ll try it soon….Now would you try to develop the recipe for Apple Bran Muffins that Cracker Barrel prepares….I love these but haven’t found a recipe as good as their recipe. Always enjoy your post….Gloria
I’M THINKING YOU COULD USE CRESENT ROLLS. ANY ONE EVER TRIED IT?
Hi Chisty, thanks for another yummy and easy recipe. What kind of pizza crust is that? The ones I normlly buy don’t look like that.
Thanls!
