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!
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.
I made this tonight also (that’s 3 of your recipes in 2 days!! LOL). Mine turned out a bit too sweet for me… Could it be because I used light brown sugar instead of dark? Is there much of a taste difference between the two? Or maybe I added too much (there were some clumps in my measuring cup!) LOL Either way, we all still enjoyed it very much – just in moderation! I’m thinking I’ll just have to measure more carefully next time or cut back on the sugar 🙂
Thanks for yet another “keeper”!
I made it today also. Didn’t have dark brown sugar on hand so I used light. I think the dark makes a better presentation. Also, the crust I used said to bake for 10 minutes so using the 25 minute time made it slightly crunchy (but not burnt). Otherwise, it was really yummy as the flavors blended together nicely. I’m certain I’ll make this again.
Trying it now with cherry pie filling and added pecans. Can’t wait. It smells soooo YUMMMMMYYYY Thank for the recipe.
Follow-up. This recipe is a keeper and is so easy to make!!! Everyone loved love it.. Thanks again. 🙂
OMG. It looks so good. I also like that you chop your apples. In similar recipes I’ve seen them in slices. Makes it easier to eat chopped I think. Can’t wait to try it!
Milk glass and all kinds of antique glass is usually easy to find on etsy.com, I am a serious window shopper there but haven’t bought from it yet. BTW, I have to eat 2 pieces of this type of pizza every time I go to CiCi’s. I am not sure it would be a good thing to make at home as I know I would eat it until it is gone!!!!
That looks delish! I’d like to try it for a potluck or cookout someday. I love those Cinderella bowls, too! I have four. Just bought a 4 qt Amish butterprint the weekend before last. Oh, and an Old Town sugar bowl with a lid that I’m using to hold cut up lemons! Like I needed them. Oh well, I could spend money on sillier things! There are a couple of antique malls that I like to go to when I get the time and they are pretty friendly so let me know if you are ever in Pensacola!
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOooh Pensacola? I’ll have to remember that, Sonya and sure will holler at you if I’m ever that way!
I love Amish butterprint. Grandmama had a few of those when I was a little girl 🙂
Christy… check out Etsy.com. You don’t have to bid on anything. They have both your mugs you’re looking for! I checked for ya!! I’m addicted to their site and yours. You can search for things and eat apple pizza at the same time!
