For the pizza:
1 9-inch pie crust, rolled to fit 12-inch pizza pan
4 cups apples peeled and diced (about 4 medium apples)
2/3 cup white sugar
3 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
For the topping:
1/2 cup flour
1/3 cup brown sugar packed
1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter softened
To finish:
1/2 cup caramel sauce
Vanilla ice cream for serving
Instructions
Get your oven ready – Heat it to 350°F. Roll out your pie crust to fit a 12-inch pizza pan and fold the edges up a bit to make a little border.
Fix up the apples – Mix the white sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, and cinnamon in a bowl. Toss your diced apples in this mixture until they’re all coated. Spread them evenly over your pie crust.
Make the crumb topping – In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, oats, cinnamon, and soft butter. I like to use my hands to squish it all together until it looks like wet sand with some bigger chunks. Sprinkle this all over the apples.
Bake it up – Pop it in the oven for 35-40 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the apples are tender and the topping is golden brown.
Finish and serve – As soon as it comes out, drizzle that caramel sauce all over the top. Cut it into wedges like a pizza and serve with ice cream while it’s still warm.
Notes
I always use salted butter for the topping because it balances out all that sweetness perfectly. If you only have unsalted, just add a tiny pinch of salt to the mixture.
This is definitely best served warm, but leftovers keep fine in the fridge for a couple days. Just reheat individual pieces in the oven to crisp up that topping again.
