Ingredients
Base
- 1 Pizza Crust (shelf stable)
- 1 21 ounce can Apple Pie Filling
Crumble Topping
- ½ cup All Purpose Flour
- ½ cup Brown Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ cup Old Fashioned Oats
- ½ cup Unsalted Butter (cold)
Icing
- 1 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1-2 tablespoon Whole Milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven and preheat the oven to 350℉ to ensure even cooking and a crisp crust.
- Prepare Pizza Crust: Place your pizza crust on a large plate, cutting board, or pizza peel. Spread the apple pie filling evenly over the crust, leaving the outer edge bare to maintain a defined crust perimeter.
- Make Crumble Topping: In a bowl, stir together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Cut the cold unsalted butter into the mixture using a butter knife or pastry cutter until clumps of butter are incorporated, forming the crumble texture.
- Bake the Pizza: Carefully slide the prepared pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the topping becomes golden and no longer looks dry, indicating it has crisped up properly.
- Prepare Icing: While the pizza bakes, stir together powdered sugar, whole milk (start with 1 tablespoon and add more if needed), and vanilla extract until smooth to create a sweet glaze.
- Finish and Serve: Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Drizzle the icing evenly over the top before slicing into 8 servings and serving warm.
Notes
- Using a pizza stone helps achieve a crispier crust but a regular baking sheet works well too.
- Chill the butter before mixing in for better crumble texture.
- Adjust milk quantity in icing for desired consistency—thicker for drizzling, thinner for pouring.
- Serve warm for best flavor and texture.
- Leftovers can be stored covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
