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.
What You’ll Need to Make Apple Pizza Dessert

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 eats!
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!

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.

Oh,CHRISTY!! The ONLY thing I can think of to make your site any better is if you’d give us a list of ingredients for upcoming posts ahead of time so we could jump up from our computers and get straight to some cookin’ and bakin’!!! BTW, I was laughing too hard to get ‘on the truck’, but I eventually made it back to the recipe!!! LOTS of LAUGHING!!!!! Born and raised in the North, but LOVE how Southern folks express themselves. Glad God transplanted me and am grateful to be a family member of Southern Plate!

I am thinking that a good drizzling of caramel sauce would be excellent in there too…yeah, and crushed nuts…..wow, I am soooo hungry thinking about that….
Thanks for sharing! Can’t wait to try it!
I agree with Brittney – take the day off woman! 🙂 Although I have to admit I spent yesterday trying out new recipes on the family and they were so good I couldn’t quit complimenting myself! I especially love this site with good ole fashioned recipes I thought were long lost to me. For that, Ms. Christy, I am eternally grateful. Now go have a barbecue!
Vanilla ice cream…
Oh my goodness! I saw your email post in my inbox, and my first thought was “Take the day off, Christy! It’s Labor Day!!” Of course I would’ve felt something was missing from my day had I not received your blog post, but really, take a break Miss Christy!! I’m hoping it is just an automated email, and you are just hanging out with your family, having a good ol’ time instead of making sure we have our daily dose of deliciousness from you 🙂 Enjoy your day!
