How to Make Apple Pizza
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.
Ingredients For Apple Pizza Dessert
You’re gonna need:
- Pizza crust,
- Apple pie filling,
- Cinnamon,
- Quick oats,
- Flour,
- Brown sugar,
- Butter
For the glaze on top you’ll also need
- Confectioner’s sugar,
- milk, and
- vanilla.
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 eatin!
*Tips for using fresh apples after the recipe card below.
- First off, open that can of pie filling.
- You’ll notice most of the apples are in slices in there so we want to dice them up a bit so they’ll spread better.
- What I do is take a long bladed knife and stick it down in the center, then pull it to the side.
- Repeat this over and over and you dice up the apples in the can with no mess.
- 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 that into the dry mixture until it looks like this.
- So you can cut the butter in until it looks like this or you can just cut it in until you get tired of fooling with it. Pizza will still be good. ~shrugs~ I’m easy to please.
- Take that topping and sprinkle it all over your apple pizza pie filling and crust.
This bowl I’m using is a Pyrex one in a pattern called “Gooseberry Pink”. The style of bowl is called “Cinderella”. Cinderella bowls had two handles on them , one slightly larger than the other, and they were raised on the sides so that the handles could be used as pouring spouts. If you scroll up and look at the top view photos of the bowl you’ll see what I mean.
Ok, back to the recipe…
- Here is our apple pizza all ready to bake
- Place it in a 350 degree oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until lightly browned.
Making 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 good and add your vanilla
- Stir again
- Use your spoon to drizzle the icing over the top.
Here’s your slice. Can’t you just taste the wonderful flavors?
Let pizza cool for about five minutes or so before eating
(just enough so you don’t burn the tar out of your mouth when you take a bite)

I made this on our fall beach getaway this weekend. It disappeared. So good! and it was great cold for breakfast:) Thanks for a great recipe!!
Made this with cherry pie filling, and OMGosh…was it GREAT! I love the idea of making them with the small crusts. Wow…what a wonderful and QUICK tasty treat. NOT, overly caloric I’d think too…no cream, no fat…YUM! Thanks Christy…
Made this today with half the amount of glaze and a cookie crust instead of pizza crust. It was much better than the kind they sell at the pizza stores. Thank you for the great recipe!
I never knew those were called Cinderella bowls. I have a big ol’ turquoise one I got from my momma. Why Cinderella?
I made this last week, but I used refrigerated pizza crust because it was cheaper, plus I had a coupon. I pre-baked the crust first according to the package directions, but only for about 7 minutes. I made two of them, and they turned out delicious! My family loved it, and I’ll definitely be making it again. It’s so easy. It even tasted great cold straight out of the fridge. Thanks for another terrific recipe, Christy. 🙂
I made your Apple Doozie last night for my family for dessert….DEEEELISH!!
I just found your website yesterday after reading the article in Southern Living….it is FANTASTIC! You cook like I cook! Good southern food that everybody loves with an easier/quicker way to do it and not sacrifice on taste! I am looking forward to trying more recipes… Yesterday after looking at your website, the store didn’t have a big pizza crust, so I bought the package of 3 small ones(the” personal pan pizza” size)….used the same amount of ingredients and it turned out just great! I cut each one into 4 pieces and we all had a piece of one for dessert last night, and each had one piece of the 2nd one for breakfast this morning(so good with a cup of coffee)….and the other I’m sure will be eaten for an after school snack this afternoon with a big glass of milk! This is great for dessert, snacktime and added to a breakfast/brunch menu….it was a big hit. Thanks so much for producing such a great website and sharing such great recipes! You seem like a good mama, a good daughter and a wife your husband is proud of…..from one girl who loves to make people happy with good food to another….here’s to you!
She has cook books great must have cook books, not easy to to find but worth the hunt along with her e-mail she is my go to for recipes. Recipes real people eat made with ingredients you probably have in the house, so special trip to find something exotic.
Just wanted to say I love your website and recipes. My family will be so happy this thanksgiving when I bring out some long forgotten favorites of my youth…
