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!

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! I don’t leave the pizza place unitl I’ve had a slice…or two…:)… of apple pizza. The last time we went I kept sending my husband to go check for the apple pizza…so, this recipe is after my own heart, ( and stomach.) Thanks for another wonderful recipe. I’ll be trying this one out as soon as the banana puddding from Daddy’s birthday party is gone.
Thank you so much for this yummy pizza pie recipe 🙂 You always make everything look so easy!
I have those bowls! both the large and small pink ones Hmmmm I wonder where hubby put them. I will be making this tomorrow as I still have some homemade apple pie ice cream still left.
I have this in the oven as I type and my kitchen smells wonderful! Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Oh, Christy, that apple pizza looks so good! I made one similar to it before several years ago, need to do it again because we love the apple pizza at restaurants too. My only problem is that it seems like whenever I buy apple pie filling, a lot of the apple slices have that hard part in the center of the apple attached to them. Do not like. I guess I could go through all the slices and cut it off though! Also I love your jewelry. I think jewelry is pretty but I don’t wear much of it, and my approach to fashion is exactly the same as yours. I have 2 necklaces that I love also- one of them is actually kind of similar to the grateful one you have, my mom gave it to me the night before my wedding. The other is a necklace that matches my engagement ring that my husband gave me the night he proposed. He played a trick on me and gave me a tiny velvet box that I thought was an engagement ring… it was the necklace! Then later that night he actually proposed. I was completely not expecting to be proposed to so you could have knocked me over with a feather both times! Okay one last thing: this morning I poured bacon grease in a jar for the first time in my life. It’s in the fridge. Thought you’d be proud.
It is in the oven, and ohhhhhhhh it smells so wonderful!! I’m going to add a scoup of vanilla ice cream to top if off! We made the mexican pizza first-yummy! A nice easy meal to end this labor day!!
P.S. If you feed me , I will dress you. I love fashion even if I am getting old.
Clothes are my downfall but I am getting better at not buying anything as I don’t have any more room in my closets and I am trying to be economical. I just can’t afford it anymore but I have more clothes than a person has any right to have. LOL
