CiCi's Bavarian Dessert Pizza
This dessert pizza starts with a buttery pastry base and gets topped with creamy custard, cinnamon-spiced apples, and a sweet streusel crumble. The combination pulls from classic Bavarian flavor profiles in a format that's easy to slice and share. It comes together in roughly 45 minutes.
Equipment
- Rolling pin
- Baking sheet
- Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Oven
Ingredients
For the Pastry Base:
- 1 package store-bought pizza dough preferably fresh or refrigerated
For the Custard:
- 1 cup heavy cream high quality
- 3 pieces egg yolks organic, if possible
- ½ cup sugar white granulated
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
For the Topping:
- 2 cups apples thinly sliced, preferably Granny Smith
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon ground
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- ¼ cup brown sugar packed
Instructions
- Preparing the Base: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the store-bought pizza dough onto a baking sheet, ensuring a thin, even layer.
- Making the Custard: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Assembling the Pizza: Pour the custard onto the dough, spreading it evenly. Arrange the apple slices on top, and sprinkle with cinnamon and brown sugar. Drizzle melted butter over the top.
- Baking: Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the custard is set but still slightly wobbly in the center.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free pizza dough.
- Add a spoonful of lemon juice to the apple slices to prevent browning and add a citrusy note.
