Ingredients for Apple Pizza

  • Pastry For Double Crust Pie
  • 4 medium apples (such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cold and cut into small pieces
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-4 tablespoons milk (adjust for desired consistency)
  • 1 teaspoon caramel flavoring (or 2 tablespoons caramel sauce)
  • 1/4 cup chopped peanuts (optional)

How to Make Apple Pizza

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crust to fit a 12-inch pizza pan. Turn the edges under and flute.
  3. Arrange the thinly sliced apples evenly over the pie crust.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon.
  5. Cut in the cold butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture is crumbly.
  6. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the apples.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool for 15 minutes.
  9. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, caramel flavoring, and milk until a smooth glaze forms. Add more milk if needed to reach desired consistency.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the warm apple pizza.
  11. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts (optional).
  12. Slice and serve immediately or slightly warm. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
