Ingredients

1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)

2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

2 tbsp butter, melted

3 tbsp brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tbsp flour (for apple filling)

¼ cup rolled oats

2 tbsp flour (for topping)

2 tbsp cold butter, cut into cubes

2 tbsp brown sugar (extra for crumble)

Caramel sauce, for drizzling (optional but recommended)

Vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line 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 surface lightly with melted butter to help it bake golden and crisp.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine the sliced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon flour. Toss gently until the apples are evenly coated. Spread this mixture evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 3: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, 2 tablespoons flour, cold butter cubes, and brown sugar. Use your fingers or a fork to blend until the mixture becomes crumbly. Sprinkle this crumble evenly over the apples.

Step 4: Bake the pizza for 20–25 minutes, until the crust is golden and the apples are soft and bubbly. Your kitchen will fill with the comforting scent of cinnamon and baked apples.

Step 5: Let the pizza cool for about 5 minutes after baking. Drizzle with caramel sauce if desired. Slice like a pizza and serve warm, optionally topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tips & Variations

Choose Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for the best balance of tartness and sweetness.

Brushing the crust with melted butter before baking helps keep it crisp under the juicy apples.

Chill the crumble topping for 5–10 minutes before adding to enhance crunchiness.

Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping for extra texture and flavor.

Swap caramel sauce for maple syrup if you prefer a lighter drizzle.

Serve warm with vanilla ice cream for a classic comforting finish.
