Apple Oatmeal Crumb Pizza

Explore the world of dessert pizzas with this delicious fall inspired apple pizza topped with a brown sugar oatmeal crumb and simple glaze

Hi Friends!

I have been dreaming of this recipe since last year and am so excited it finally came together! I combined my two favorite things – pizza + dessert to create this mouth watering Apple Oatmeal Crumb Pizza! This fall inspired dessert pizza turned out more delicious than I ever imagined.

Eating dessert used to be one of my favorite pastimes. My family can verify that for sure! I still love to eat sweet treats, but try to do it a bit less often and choose slightly less sweetened options. The crust for the pizza is made from a traditional thin pizza crust, so it contains minimal to none added sugars. Additionally part of the sweetness for this recipe comes from the natural sweetness within the apples. There is certainly some added sugar in this recipe with the brown sugar, but the amount is kept in check.

My spiralizer has been getting a lot of use lately, so of course, I had to use it for this recipe. I used the largest blade on the spiralizer to create thin wide apple slices. To keep things simple I decided to skip removing the skin of the apple (which is why the pictures almost look like a berry crumble). I also chose red apples because that is what was in the fridge, but you may consider Granny Smith apples for a slightly more tart flavoring.

I used my pizza stone to create the optimal crunchy pizza crust. To ensure the crust gets well cooked, it’s important to pre-cook the pizza crust for about 5 minutes prior to putting the toppings on. Another key tip is to use corn meal (definitely not non-stick cooking spray) to prevent the pizza from sticking to the stone.

Sadly, I believe this will be the last apple recipe for the season! If you haven’t realized it’s like the third consecutive apple recipe to be posted on the blog! Sorry not sorry! Hopefully, you didn’t miss the Spiralized Apple Peanut Butter Salad or Peanut Butter Apple Cereal Bars. It’s time to make way for the pumpkin recipes!
