The Best apple pie pizza dessert recipe

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of combining two classic desserts into one. The apple pie pizza dessert recipe is a perfect example of this.

I first came across it on a food blog a few years ago, and I was immediately drawn to its simplicity and creativity. The combination of the flaky crust, the sweetness of the apples, and the savory flavor of the cheese is absolute perfection.

I’ve made this recipe countless times for my family, and it’s always a hit. My kids love helping me out in the kitchen, and they’re always excited to get their hands on a slice (or three!)

after it’s done. This recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it’s a special dinner or just a Tuesday night.

And the best part? It’s surprisingly healthy, considering all the delicious ingredients involved.

The crust is made from whole wheat flour, and the apples are cooked with a hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s a true showstopper that’s sure to impress even the pickiest of eaters.

🥘Ingredients

For the Crust

1 pound pizza dough, at room temperature
1 tablespoon melted butter

For the Apple Topping

4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice

For the Streusel

1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

For the Glaze

1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

👨‍🍳Directions

1Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
2Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
3On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough into a 12-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick, and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
4Brush the dough with melted butter, leaving a 1-inch border around the edge.
5In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
6Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
7Arrange the apple slices in a single layer over the buttered dough, staying within the border.
8In a small bowl, make the streusel by mixing together the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
9Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or fork until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
10Sprinkle the streusel evenly over the apples.
11Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender and bubbling.
12Let the pizza cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
13While the pizza cools, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
14Drizzle the glaze over the warm pizza.
15Slice and serve warm.
