Ingredients

Scale

For the Base

1 pizza crust (store-bought or homemade)
2 tbsp melted butter (for brushing)

For the Apple Filling

2 medium apples, peeled and thinly sliced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
3 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp flour

For the Crumble Topping

¼ cup old-fashioned rolled oats
2 tbsp flour
2 tbsp cold butter, cut into cubes
2 tbsp brown sugar

For Serving (Optional)

Caramel sauce, for drizzling
Vanilla ice cream

Instructions

Prep the Crust: 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 top lightly with melted butter to help it bake golden and crisp. For extra flavor, optionally sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar over the butter before adding toppings.
Make the Apple Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the peeled and thinly sliced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, and a tablespoon of flour. Toss gently until all apple slices are evenly coated in the sweet, spiced mixture. Spread the apples evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges to mimic a pizza crust.
Add the Crumble Topping: In another bowl, mix rolled oats, flour, cold butter cubes, and brown sugar. Use your fingers or a fork to blend the mixture until crumbly. Sprinkle this crumble topping evenly over the apples, ensuring every bite will have a crunchy texture.
Bake to Perfection: Place the prepared pizza in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the crust turns golden brown and apples look soft and bubbly. The kitchen will fill with a warm apple-cinnamon aroma as it bakes.
Drizzle & Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle caramel sauce (or maple syrup if preferred) over the top. Slice like a pizza and serve warm, optionally adding a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a luscious finishing touch.

Notes

For more crunch, add chopped pecans or walnuts to the crumble topping.
Swap caramel sauce for maple glaze if you want a lighter, less sweet flavor.
Store leftover pizza slices in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or air fryer to retain crisp texture.
To make gluten-free, use a gluten-free pizza crust and gluten-free oats.
Preparing the crumble topping and chilling it before baking can enhance the crunchiness.
