It’s time for another blogger Dessert Challenge, and this month is apples and cinnamon. Ahhh, the possibilities!! I decided to go with an Apple Streusel Pizza…yes, yes, I know…you are thoroughly shocked! I created another type of pizza. At this point, I think anything that is flat with toppings and baked…is called a pizza! What do you think?

I knew almost immediately what I wanted to make, I just wasn’t exactly sure how I wanted to put it all together. I finally decided on delicious and easy frozen puff pastry as the base. Then for the topping, I used my Apple Crisp recipe hoping it would turn out the way I imagined it in my head. It turned out even better than I had hoped. Cassi gobbled this pizza down!! In fact, we were practically fighting over it…..it was that good!

I wanted it to have a little something extra, so I created a simple vanilla glaze to drizzle over the top. That is what took this dessert from an apple crisp to a fantastic apple dessert worthy of a dessert challenge. Did I mention how easy it was to make? So simple! The hardest part was waiting for it to cool down enough to try it!

How to make Apple Streusel Pizza:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully unroll the puff pastry sheets and place them on the parchment paper. Score a 3/4-inch border around the edge to create a “crust”. Do not go all the way through the dough! Set aside.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and butter with a fork until it forms a crumbly mixture. Set aside.

Peel, core,and slice the apples. Place the apples in rows on the puff pastry crust.

Sprinkle crumb topping over the apples.

Bake for 25 – 30 minutes, until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.

Mix the glaze ingredients together to desired consistency, drizzle over the pizza.

Seriously delicious!!

Recipe Notes & Tips

All oven cook differently so baking times may need to be adjusted. Keep an eye on it! My oven in Arizona cooks much hotter than the one I had in Iowa, so my pizza is a bit overdone.
Apples are incredibly dry here in the desert, well everything is, but I had a hard time getting the apples to slice without breaking apart. That is why some are already turning brown in the images, and there is a mosaic of apples in the center. The streusel topping hides everything!
Use any type of apples that you like. Granny Smith are generally more tart. Honey Crisp are sweeter and juicier.
