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

  • 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

cut up apple pie filling

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!

cover pizza crust with apple pie filling

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, put dry ingredients

In a small bowl, place brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and oats. Stir to combine.

stir to combine and add butter

Cut up 1/2 stick of margarine (or butter) and place in the bowl.

butter mixed in

Using a long tined fork, cut the butter into the dry mixture until it looks like this.

sprinkle topping all over apple pie filling

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!

confectioner's sugar in a small bowl

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 glaze and add vanilla

Stir that up well, then add the vanilla. Stir again until mixed.

use a spoon to drizzle glaze on top of the baked apple pie pizza

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.

  1. 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! 🙂

  2. 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…

    1. How about PBJ sandwiches (has to be grape jelly for some reason) with pepperjack cheese on it? Sounds gross but it’s GOOD!!

  3. 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)!

  4. 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.

  5. 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!
