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)

I made this tonight also (that’s 3 of your recipes in 2 days!! LOL). Mine turned out a bit too sweet for me… Could it be because I used light brown sugar instead of dark? Is there much of a taste difference between the two? Or maybe I added too much (there were some clumps in my measuring cup!) LOL Either way, we all still enjoyed it very much – just in moderation! I’m thinking I’ll just have to measure more carefully next time or cut back on the sugar 🙂
Thanks for yet another “keeper”!
I made it today also. Didn’t have dark brown sugar on hand so I used light. I think the dark makes a better presentation. Also, the crust I used said to bake for 10 minutes so using the 25 minute time made it slightly crunchy (but not burnt). Otherwise, it was really yummy as the flavors blended together nicely. I’m certain I’ll make this again.
Trying it now with cherry pie filling and added pecans. Can’t wait. It smells soooo YUMMMMMYYYY Thank for the recipe.
Follow-up. This recipe is a keeper and is so easy to make!!! Everyone loved love it.. Thanks again. 🙂
OMG. It looks so good. I also like that you chop your apples. In similar recipes I’ve seen them in slices. Makes it easier to eat chopped I think. Can’t wait to try it!
Milk glass and all kinds of antique glass is usually easy to find on etsy.com, I am a serious window shopper there but haven’t bought from it yet. BTW, I have to eat 2 pieces of this type of pizza every time I go to CiCi’s. I am not sure it would be a good thing to make at home as I know I would eat it until it is gone!!!!
That looks delish! I’d like to try it for a potluck or cookout someday. I love those Cinderella bowls, too! I have four. Just bought a 4 qt Amish butterprint the weekend before last. Oh, and an Old Town sugar bowl with a lid that I’m using to hold cut up lemons! Like I needed them. Oh well, I could spend money on sillier things! There are a couple of antique malls that I like to go to when I get the time and they are pretty friendly so let me know if you are ever in Pensacola!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooh Pensacola? I’ll have to remember that, Sonya and sure will holler at you if I’m ever that way!
I love Amish butterprint. Grandmama had a few of those when I was a little girl 🙂
Christy… check out Etsy.com. You don’t have to bid on anything. They have both your mugs you’re looking for! I checked for ya!! I’m addicted to their site and yours. You can search for things and eat apple pizza at the same time!
