  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

Ingredients

Crust and Apple Filling

  • 1 (9 inch) homemade pie crust or store-bought
  • 2/3 cup white sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups peeled and diced apples (Gala, Fuji, Braeburn, or Empire), diced into 1/4 inch pieces (about 4 medium apples)

Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, softened

Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup caramel topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right baking temperature while you prepare the pizza.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out your pie crust to fit a 12-inch pizza pan. Place it on the pan and fold under the edges slightly to create a raised crust for the apple topping.
  3. Mix Apple Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the white sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Add the peeled and diced apples and toss to coat evenly with the sugar mixture.
  4. Arrange Apples: Spread the cinnamon-sugared apples in a single layer over the prepared pie crust, covering it completely.
  5. Prepare Topping: In another bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, and softened butter. Use your hands or a pastry cutter to mix until crumbly with a texture similar to wet sand.
  6. Add Topping: Sprinkle the oat crumble topping evenly over the apples on the crust.
  7. Bake: Place the pizza pan into the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the topping is golden and crisp.
  8. Drizzle Caramel: Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle the caramel topping evenly over the entire surface.
  9. Serve: Cut the apple crisp pizza into 12 slices and serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.

Notes

  • Use a mix of apple varieties like Gala, Fuji, Braeburn or Empire for the best flavor and texture.
  • Softened butter in the topping helps create a crumbly texture; do not melt it.
  • Serve warm for best taste, and consider pairing with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and reheat before serving.
