Man, I am ready for the weekend. How ’bout you?
It has been nonstop for us this week and thankfully school lets out early tomorrow for MANDATORY ACTIVITY DAY! Woooo! I really can’t complain much about living on an Army post. I keep telling myself that I just have to get through today and then it’s all downhill to the weekend.
The highlight of my week was this Caramel Apple Crisp Pizza. I wanted something quick and easy to make for a special afterschool snack but I had no idea that it would be such a hit. There wasn’t a single piece left at the end of the day.
My favorite part of any fruity pie-type dessert is the crust/crumble/crisp/whatever so to have crust plus crisp in one dish? Heaven! I’m kind of obsessed with this recipe now and I can’t stop thinking about it. The good news is that the pie crust I bought comes in packs of 2. The bad news is that it comes in packs of 2.
If I’m up 5 pounds by next week, you’ll know why.
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 4 medium apples peeled and diced into 1/4 inch pieces
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup butter softened
- 1/2 cup caramel topping
-
Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a pizza pan with oil.
-
Place pie crust on the pan and fold under edges to give the pizza a bit of a raised crust.
-
Combine sugar, flour and cinnamon in a medium bowl. Add peeled, diced apples and toss.
-
Arrange the apples in a single layer over the pie crust to completely cover it.
-
To make the topping, combine the flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon in a bowl. Use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until the butter is in pea-sized pieces. Sprinkle over the apples.
-
Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes or until apples are tender. Remove from oven and immediately drizzle with caramel topping. Cut into pizza slices.

I pinned this recently and then forgot to buy apples to make it. Totally happening next time I’m at the store! And yes – bring on the weekend :)

I love this version of apple pie, because I mostly just want the crust anyway.

I love this. I made a plum ‘pizza’ this summer but damn if it wasn’t missing ‘pizza’ sauce. GREG

Love apples in any form, especially on a flat pizza! This way, I get more apples and less of a crust, which is how I like it! :)
