This apple pizza dessert has a crispy crust loaded with sweet apple slices, cinnamon, and a vanilla glaze. Top it off with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a dessert that’s pure bliss!
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.

How to Make Apple Pizza Dessert
First, open your can of pie filling. You’ll notice that most of the apples are in slices, so we want to dice them up a bit so they’ll spread better. I use my kitchen shears and just cut them up until they are sufficiently diced!
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 the butter into the dry mixture until it looks like this.
Take that topping and sprinkle it all over your apple pizza pie filling and crust. Your apple pie pizza is ready to bake! Place it in a 350 degree oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned.
While the apple pie pizza is baking, let’s make 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 well, then add the vanilla. Stir again until mixed.
Once your apple pie pizza is baked, use a spoon to drizzle the icing over the top of the pie. Let it cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Doesn’t that slice of apple pie pizza look like a slice of heaven?
Eat as is or serve with some vanilla ice cream and/or drizzled caramel sauce. Enjoy!
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust
- 1 can apple pie filling*
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 c flour

Sprinkle over top of pie filling in pizza and bake at 350 for twenty five minutes, or until lightly golden. Top with glaze, below.
- Place all glaze ingredients in small bowl, stir until smooth. Can add a smidge more milk if mixture is too thick, more sugar if it is too thin. Drizzle over Apple Pizza with spoon.
- *To use fresh apples. Peel and chop two to three cups apples. Saute' in two tablespoons butter until tender. Add a few tablespoons sugar if you like but keep them a bit tart because the topping adds a lot of sweetness. Continue with recipe.
We LOVE you and your recipes at my house! This is perfect for a treat to make my dad who is a sweet lover like myself!
One question, in your recipes, when you list flour does that mean all purpose or self rising?
Thanks for sharing your talents!

Oh my this is a must bake, going to the store in a few minutes. Guess what’s for dessert?
Christy I have talked so much about your recipes and website that my daughter and daughters in laws are wanting copies of recipes. Merry Christmas early girls, I just bought you Christy’s cookbook. One for each household and now they can love your recipes as much as I do..
Oh my goodness, I am so honored Hannah! I hope you love the Apple Doozie but I have found that it rarely disappoints.
Our Papa Murphy’s take and bake pizza sells a crust plain very cheap.
Worked great! I discovered this when I made veggie pizza cold appetizers.
Apple Doozy looks good. I am planning to make it this coming week. Just a tip on the antique shopping. Check out Madison Station Antiques on Main Street and Champagne Lane on Highway 72 in Athens. Both places have extremely nice folks working there.
Yesterday I made your Apple Doozie except since I didn’t have a pizza crust, I used a Pillsbury ready-made crust. I spread about 2 T. of graham cracker crumbs on the crust first and then added the apple/oat/brown sugar mixture. Tweaked it a bit more by adding some pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon, etc. Baked it on a pizza stone then, about 50 minutes total. Deelish!!
I’m so glad to see I’m not the only one who slices up stuff still in the can like that! 🙂
Betcha a dolla that I’ll be saying that Apple Doozie war cry when I make & eat this bad boy. MMMMMMM looks delish. Maybe I can get Honey pie hubby and Amanda Panda to do that war cry too. I’ll keep ya posted, for sure. XO
