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

- Apple pie filling
- Cinnamon
- Quick oats
- Flour
- Brown sugar

For the Glaze:
- Confectioner’s sugar

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!
Ingredients
- 1 pizza crust
- 1 can apple pie filling*
- 1/2 cup quick oats
- 1/2 cup dark brown sugar
- 1/2 c flour
- 1/2 stick margarine 1/4 of a cup
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1 cup Confectioner's sugar glaze
- 2 Tablespoons milk glaze
- 1 teaspoon vanila glaze
Instructions
- Place pizza crust on baking sheet and preheat oven to 350. Open pie filling and dice it up a bit while it is inside the can. Spread over pizza crust.
- In small bowl, place flour, oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to combine. Cut margarine into slices and place in bowl. Using a long tined fork, cut margarine into mixture until crumbly. 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.
Yummy!!! Looks as delicious as it sounds!!! I’m lazy enough that this might actually be something I could do! hehe
And please, Christy, don’t feel bad about going off on tangents. Many of us out here in SP Land have minds that often wander without….oh look, a squirrel!!! 😉
Thanks again for a wonderful post!! Look forward to the next as always! 🙂

I’m one of those people that loves cheddar cheese on apple pie (don’t knock it if you ain’t tried it!), so I think I’m going to try sprinking some grated cheddar on top before baking. Yummmm…
How about PBJ sandwiches (has to be grape jelly for some reason) with pepperjack cheese on it? Sounds gross but it’s GOOD!!
See…it’s recipes like this that make me mad I’m diabetic! 🙁 However, I might be able to do a substitution or two, and still make it taste as good as yours does.
As a fellow milk glass junkie, check out RoundTop over in Texas come October if you can. Miles and miles of nothing but junk and antiques. Words of wisdom: 1. Don’t fly. If you do, you’ll end up buying stuff you can’t get in overhead bins or stuff that’ll break if you let the luggage handlers touch it. 2. If you MUST fly, take along an extra suitcase with NOTHING in it but bubble wrap.
Thanks for a great website! I’m so glad I found you and Southern Plate (and so is my husband/kids/family)!
I am all ready thinking of cherry pie filling or blueberry filling! I love the idea of the cream cheese layer as well. And for the apple pizza, how about a little grated cheddar cheese mixed in with the topping? My Mom used to make an apple pie with cheese crumb topping and it was Heaven in a pie plate.
Just wanted to say a big THANK YOU!!!!!!!! My baskets arrived a couple of days ago. They are beeeeeautiful!! I got one for myself and one for my newly married DD. She will get hers on December 1st as an early Christmas present, along with a print out of your Southern Plate Christmas Favorites. (We rarely make it til Christmas with every present!) I’m gonna save the cookbook, already ordered, for Christmas.
This really looks wonderful! My mom (I’m her caregiver) has been wanting something different to eat and I have everything to make this. I’m gonna make two small ones as I’ll keep mine on the as-healthy-as-I-can-make-it side.
And let me just say that your Pecan Pie Muffins were the biggest hit with my mom. She doesn’t eat much at all and the first time I made them she ate two of them in one sittin’. She loved them! It’s been an often requested treat!! I have a feeling this one will be too!
