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 sure how I wanted to put it all together. I finally decided on the delicious and easy frozen puff pastry as the base. Then for the topping, I decided to use 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. I had one “section” left over. 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 sheets.
Sprinkle crumb topping over the apples. Bake for 35 – 40 minutes, until golden brown.
Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly.
Mix the glaze ingredients together to desired consistency, drizzle over the pizza…..

This is beautiful, Lisa! Pizza is very popular around our house, and I’d be the coolest mom in town if I made this for my boys for dessert after a dinner of “regular” pizza one night. Thanks for the great idea!
