Apple Dessert Pizza
Apple Dessert Pizza layers cinnamon-and-nutmeg-spiced apples over a soft, pre-baked crust and finishes with a sweet drizzle. The spiced apple topping comes together quickly on the stovetop before going onto the crust, keeping the overall prep and bake time to around 30 minutes. It's a good option when apple pie sounds appealing but you want something faster and more casual.
Equipment
- Oven
- Baking sheet
- Rolling pin
- Mixing Bowls
- Pastry brush
Ingredients
For the Dough:
- 1 pound pizza dough store-bought or homemade
For the Topping:
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 3 large apples peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ cup caramel sauce for drizzling
For Optional Garnish:
- ¼ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pizza dough using a rolling pin to form a 12-inch circle and place it on the baking sheet.
- Brush the surface of the dough with melted butter for a crisp and golden crust.
- Arrange the apple slices evenly over the dough, slightly overlapping them for a beautiful presentation.
- In a small bowl, mix together granulated sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle evenly over the apples.
- Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before drizzling with caramel sauce.
Notes
- For a twist, try adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside the pizza.
- Alternatively, use pears instead of apples for a different flavor profile.
- You can also use a premade crust to save time.
