What You’ll Need (Ingredients + Tools)

Before we dive into baking, let’s get everything ready. Here’s what you’ll need for this cozy Apple Crisp Pizza — nothing fancy, just simple ingredients that turn into magic when combined.

Ingredients

• 1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
• 2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work beautifully)
• 2 tbsp butter, melted
• 3 tbsp brown sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tbsp flour
• ¼ cup rolled oats
• 2 tbsp flour (for topping)
• 2 tbsp cold butter, cut into cubes
• 2 tbsp brown sugar (extra for the crumble)
• Caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional but highly recommended!)
• Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Tools

• Baking sheet or pizza pan
• Parchment paper
• Mixing bowls
• Knife & cutting board
• Pastry brush or spoon

Step-by-Step – How to Make Apple Crisp Pizza

🍕 Step 1 – Prep the Crust

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out your pizza dough into a 10–12 inch circle and place it on the prepared sheet.
Brush the top lightly with melted butter — this helps it bake up golden and crisp.
Tip: If you love extra crunch, sprinkle a tiny bit of cinnamon sugar over the butter before adding your toppings!

🍏 Step 2 – Make the Apple Filling

In a bowl, combine sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and a spoonful of flour.
Gently toss until every slice is coated with that sweet, spiced goodness.
Spread the apple mixture evenly over your prepared dough, leaving a small border around the edges (like a pizza crust).
This layer should smell like pure autumn — warm, cozy, and inviting!

🍯 Step 3 – Add the Crumble Topping

In a separate bowl, mix oats, flour, cold butter cubes, and brown sugar.
Use your fingers or a fork to blend until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Sprinkle this topping evenly over the apples, making sure every bite gets a little bit of that crisp, buttery texture.
This is the secret to that irresistible “apple crisp” crunch!

🔥 Step 4 – Bake to Perfection

Place your Apple Crisp Pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and the apples look soft and bubbly.
Your kitchen will smell incredible — that cozy apple-cinnamon scent is everything!

🍨 Step 5 – Drizzle & Serve!

Once it’s out of the oven, let it cool for about 5 minutes.
Then drizzle with caramel sauce (or maple syrup if you prefer).
Slice it up like a pizza and serve warm — maybe with a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over the top.
It’s cozy, messy, and absolutely delicious.

Tips for the Perfect Apple Crisp Pizza

Want your Apple Crisp Pizza to turn out bakery-level delicious every single time? Here are a few tried-and-true tips you’ll love 👇

1️⃣ Choose the Right Apples

Go for Granny Smith or Honeycrisp — they stay firm and add the perfect tart bite that balances the sweetness.

2️⃣ Don’t Skip the Butter Brush

Brushing melted butter on the crust before baking helps it stay crisp and golden, even under all those juicy apples.

3️⃣ Chill the Crumble Before Baking

If you have time, pop the crumble topping into the fridge for 5–10 minutes before sprinkling — this makes the texture even crunchier after baking!

4️⃣ Add Some Crunchy Extras

Want to take it up a notch? Add chopped pecans or walnuts to your oat topping for that extra texture and nutty flavor.

5️⃣ Serve It Warm with Ice Cream

The ultimate finishing touch — a scoop of vanilla ice cream melting over your warm slice. It turns this dessert into pure comfort food magic. 🍦
