Cuisine: American
Serves: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 1 pre-made pizza crust
- 2 cups sliced apples
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup oats
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Ensure the oven rack is positioned in the center for even baking.
- Prepare the pre-made pizza crust by placing it on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If the crust is cold, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes to prevent cracking.
- Wash and thinly slice the apples, removing the cores. Cut slices approximately 1/8 inch thick for even cooking and optimal texture.
- In a medium bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, and oats. Add softened butter and use your fingers to combine until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Arrange apple slices evenly across the pizza crust, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
- Sprinkle the streusel mixture generously over the apple slices, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the streusel topping is crisp.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. This allows the topping to set and makes slicing easier.
- Optional: Drizzle with caramel sauce or dust with powdered sugar before serving. Slice into 8 equal wedges.
- Serve warm and enjoy as a delightful dessert pizza that combines the classic flavors of apple pie with a pizza-style presentation.
Tips
- • Use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith for the best texture and flavor balance • Ensure your butter is truly softened (but not melted) for the perfect streusel consistency • Don't rush the cooling process - letting the dessert pizza rest for 10 minutes helps the topping set and makes cutting easier • For extra indulgence, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of warm caramel sauce • If using a homemade pizza crust, pre-bake it slightly to prevent sogginess • For a more decorative look, slightly overlap apple slices in a circular pattern before adding streusel topping • Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat briefly in the oven to restore crispness
