Ingredients:

1 9-inch pie crust, rolled to fit a 12-inch pizza pan
4 cups apples (peeled and diced; about 4 medium apples)
2/3 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup caramel sauce
Vanilla ice cream for serving

Directions:

Step 1: Get your oven ready – Preheat it to 350°F. Roll out your pie crust to fit a 12-inch pizza pan, and fold the edges up slightly to create a little border.
Step 2: Fix up the apples – In a bowl, mix together the white sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, and cinnamon. Toss your diced apples in this mixture until they are all evenly coated. Then spread them evenly over your pie crust.
Step 3: Make the crumb topping – In another bowl, combine the remaining flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and softened butter. Use your hands to mix until it resembles wet sand with some larger clumps. Sprinkle this topping over the apples.
Step 4: Bake it up – Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 35-40 minutes. It’s done when the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Step 5: Finish and serve – Once out of the oven, drizzle caramel sauce over the top. Cut the pizza into wedges and serve with vanilla ice cream while it is still warm.

How to Serve Apple Crisp Pizza

Slice your Apple Crisp Pizza into wedges and serve warm. It’s excellent topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, allowing that creamy goodness to mix with the warm apple fillings. You can also add a little extra caramel drizzle on each slice for added sweetness!

How to Store Apple Crisp Pizza

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat slices in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes to restore that fresh-baked taste.

Tips to Make Apple Crisp Pizza

Use a Variety of Apples: Mixing different types of apples can enhance flavor and texture.
Add Nuts: For extra crunch, sprinkle some chopped walnuts or pecans in the crumb topping.
Experiment with Spices: A pinch of nutmeg can add a beautiful depth to the apple filling.
Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on it as it bakes; removing it when it’s golden ensures a perfect texture.

Variation

Gluten-Free Crust: Substitute the pie crust with a gluten-free version if needed.
Different Fruits: Consider substituting apples with pears or berries for a fruit mix.
Chocolate Drizzle: For an indulgent twist, add a chocolate drizzle over the top for an added treat!
