This apple pie pizza is always a good idea for any occasion – whether it’s a quick weeknight dinner or a special gathering with friends and family. One of my favorite things about this recipe is how easily it can be customized to suit your tastes – want more cheese?

Add some extra mozzarella slices! Prefer less sugar?

Simply use fewer apples or opt for unsweetened options like Granny Smith. And don’t even get me started on how versatile it is – serve as an appetizer at your next party or enjoy as a main course on its own.
