Apple Dessert Pizza (+Video) (2024)

This Apple Dessert Pizza is a quick dessert that everyone loves! Pizza crust, apple pie filling, crumble topping and a sweet icing drizzle.

A FUN WEEKNIGHT DESSERT RECIPE

This dessert pizza used to be a favorite of mine at Pizza Hut when I was a kid. I would get my free “Book-It” pizza (earned by reading lots of books) and then grab a couple of slices of the dessert pizza off the buffet. So, I figured I would try to re-create that favorite apple pie pizza!

CAN I USE DIFFERENT PIE FILLINGS?

The beauty of this dessert pizza is how many options you have. You’re only limited to the number of canned pie fillings you can find. Blueberry, Blackberry, Lemon, Cherry, Strawberry, Peach…you name it.
The only small change you would make would be in the crumb topping.For this apple dessert pizza, I add ground cinnamon to the crumb topping.I probably wouldn’t use the cinnamon with any other pie fillings except for maybe the peach. And with the peach I would cut back the cinnamon to only a teaspoon. I absolutely love cinnamon with apple but you can certainly make it to the taste that your family loves.
Try making this with a homemade pizza dough like I do in my recipe for Cherry Dessert Pizza.

INGREDIENTS NEEDED: (FULL RECIPE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE POST)

• store-bought thin pizza crust
• apple pie filling
• salted butter
• light brown sugar
• all-purpose flour
• cinnamon
• powdered sugar
• milk

HOW TO MAKE EASY APPLE DESSERT PIZZA:

Preheat oven to 350F degrees.Take crust out of package and place on round baking sheet.Now it’s time to stab the apples.Open your can of pie filling and get in there with a sharp knife and pull the knife back and forth across the apples.This will chop them up and give you more apple filling across your whole pizza. I do this a lot with canned apples, remember those EASY APPLE DANISHES?

Spread the apple pie filling evenly on the pizza crust.

To make the crumb topping: in a bowl, combine softened butter, brown sugar, flour and cinnamon.You can use a fork, a pastry cutter or your hands to do this.

You want the butter to be evenly distributed and the mixture should look nice and crumbly.

Sprinkle the crumb topping all over the apple filling.

Bake until heated through and crumb topping is slightly browned.While pizza is cooling, start making the icing.Whisk together powdered sugar and milk.Add milk slowly until you get the consistency you like.

Drizzle icing all across pizza.I usually make a bunch of lines one way, then turn it around and make some more lines the other way. Whatever strikes your fancy. You’ll probably have a little icing leftover.We save that and add a bit more icing to his individual slices.Using a sharp pizza cutter, slice up your pizza and serve!
