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 , my goodness…..I just gained five lbs reading this but that won’t keep me from making it. It sounds so wonderful.
Hope you had a good Labor Day Weekend. I labored all weekend and today taking care of my little patients. I like it when all the BIG DOGS are gone and it is just me and the staff. Love you Dahling.
Christy, you have made my nephew the happiest kid on earth. I’m gonna wind up cookin’ that twice a week until doomsday!
Anita: Maybe you can find that Tea Bread recipe over here: http://recipecurio.com/category/booklets/home-baking/ This is a scanned old Spry Shortening booklet, and there’s LOTS of old vintage recipes on that site. I found my mom’s old chess pie recipe over there. 🙂
Have fun!
Thank you so much. I’ll take a look – Anita
Lookin’ good Christy as does the pizza yummmmmmmmmmy. Which Tim James commercial? There’s a gazillion that came up.
Oh, what a great idea. I have my own canned apple pie filling overflowing in the pantry thanks to a vounty crop from the apple tree. This is a perfect way to use some of it up.
Christy, I drool over your recipes, but drool even more over your Pyrex bowls. I’m a minor collector after getting my mother’s. She got all kinds of Pyrex as wedding gifts in 1959 and I started from there. I have a 3 piece set of mixing bowls identical to the one you used in this recipe. Now I know it’s called Gooseberry Pink. My set has a large and small pink bowl with a white design and the middle bowl is white with a pink design. I’m now working on collecting different colors and styles of Pyrex. I find a lot of it at flea markets around here. I’d love to see what other Pyrex pieces you have, but in the meantime, I’ll just have to use mine trying out your recipes. BTW, I’ve been looking for a banana bread recipe I used to make as a child. I believe it was called Banana Tea Bread and the recipe was in a little booklet put out by Spry (?) Shortening. All I can remember was it seemed to have very little flour, perhaps 1/2 cup.
anita, i have the set of gooseberry pink also. my oldest dd bought it for me for 20.00 at a flea market, (east texas) they are in perfect condition. i use the tar out of them, plus they remind me of a happy day with my daughter. i have a casserole dish that’s milk glass with gold designs painted on it, it came with a wood trivet and a clear glass lid. i think it is pyrex but have no idea of the design name. it’s called the “praline sweet taters” casserole dish since that’s what it holds every thanksgiving!
Isn’t Pyrex just wonderful, Mama Jane? Thanks for sharing.
a drizzle of lovely caramel sauce on top too…..!
Sounds wonderful. My nephew and his wife just had a beautiful baby boy. My nephew loves apple pie!!! Looks like he will be getting one in celebration of his new baby boy!!
I love the way you share with us! I noticed the mention of the magazine article!!! When will we hear more?!!!
I also love your necklaces. I am like you, I wear one pair of earrings until I lose or break them. The necklace with the names of your angels is beautiful!!
Blessings to you,
Pam
