Ingredients
Base Ingredients:
- 1 pie crust homemade or store-bought
- ½ cup caramel sauce
Apple Topping:
- 1 pound about 4 apples, peeled and sliced into ½-inch portions
- ⅛ cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Crisp Topping:
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup old-fashioned oats
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons butter room temperature
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a pizza pan with butter or nonstick spray.
- Prepare the Crust: Roll the pie crust into a circle large enough to fit a pizza pan (about 14 inches in diameter). Fold the edges back slightly to form a crust.
- Make the Apple Topping: In a mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon. Spread evenly over the pie crust.
- Prepare the Crisp Topping: Combine flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon in a bowl. Add butter and caramel sauce. Use a fork or pastry blender to mix until crumbly.
- Assemble the Pizza: Sprinkle the crisp topping evenly over the apples. Drizzle ¼–½ cup of caramel sauce over the top.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Cool and Serve: Let the pizza cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with vanilla ice cream or additional caramel sauce.
Notes
- Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji for the best results.
- For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free pie crust and substitute gluten-free flour.
- Add chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts to the topping for extra crunch.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days at room temperature or 5 days in the refrigerator.
