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.

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!

- 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.
Oh , my goodness…..I just gained five lbs reading this but that won’t keep me from making it. It sounds so wonderful.
Hope you had a good Labor Day Weekend. I labored all weekend and today taking care of my little patients. I like it when all the BIG DOGS are gone and it is just me and the staff. Love you Dahling.
Christy, you have made my nephew the happiest kid on earth. I’m gonna wind up cookin’ that twice a week until doomsday!
Anita: Maybe you can find that Tea Bread recipe over here: http://recipecurio.com/category/booklets/home-baking/ This is a scanned old Spry Shortening booklet, and there’s LOTS of old vintage recipes on that site. I found my mom’s old chess pie recipe over there. 🙂
Have fun!
Thank you so much. I’ll take a look – Anita
Lookin’ good Christy as does the pizza yummmmmmmmmmy. Which Tim James commercial? There’s a gazillion that came up.
Oh, what a great idea. I have my own canned apple pie filling overflowing in the pantry thanks to a vounty crop from the apple tree. This is a perfect way to use some of it up.
Christy, I drool over your recipes, but drool even more over your Pyrex bowls. I’m a minor collector after getting my mother’s. She got all kinds of Pyrex as wedding gifts in 1959 and I started from there. I have a 3 piece set of mixing bowls identical to the one you used in this recipe. Now I know it’s called Gooseberry Pink. My set has a large and small pink bowl with a white design and the middle bowl is white with a pink design. I’m now working on collecting different colors and styles of Pyrex. I find a lot of it at flea markets around here. I’d love to see what other Pyrex pieces you have, but in the meantime, I’ll just have to use mine trying out your recipes. BTW, I’ve been looking for a banana bread recipe I used to make as a child. I believe it was called Banana Tea Bread and the recipe was in a little booklet put out by Spry (?) Shortening. All I can remember was it seemed to have very little flour, perhaps 1/2 cup.
anita, i have the set of gooseberry pink also. my oldest dd bought it for me for 20.00 at a flea market, (east texas) they are in perfect condition. i use the tar out of them, plus they remind me of a happy day with my daughter. i have a casserole dish that’s milk glass with gold designs painted on it, it came with a wood trivet and a clear glass lid. i think it is pyrex but have no idea of the design name. it’s called the “praline sweet taters” casserole dish since that’s what it holds every thanksgiving!
Isn’t Pyrex just wonderful, Mama Jane? Thanks for sharing.
a drizzle of lovely caramel sauce on top too…..!
Sounds wonderful. My nephew and his wife just had a beautiful baby boy. My nephew loves apple pie!!! Looks like he will be getting one in celebration of his new baby boy!!
I love the way you share with us! I noticed the mention of the magazine article!!! When will we hear more?!!!
I also love your necklaces. I am like you, I wear one pair of earrings until I lose or break them. The necklace with the names of your angels is beautiful!!
Blessings to you,
Pam
