This Apple Pizza is so delicious and easy to make. Store bought pizza dough crust, cinnamon, sugar, butter, caramel sauce, apples and rolled oats come together quickly for this tasty dessert. Eat it warm by itself or serve it a la mode with vanilla ice cream.
Apple picking season is right around the corner here in Maine! It is a favorite Fall activity for my family. It is so much fun to go to one of the local orchards on a cool crisp morning and pick apples for recipes like this Apple Pizza. Afterwards, we always get hot apple cider and fresh apple donuts for breakfast.
Of course, we typically pick way more apples than we need. Fortunately, I have plenty of great recipes to use them in like Apple Pie Pancakes, Caramel Apple Bars, Apple Nachos, Caramel Apple Cupcakes and Cinnamon Apple Pumpkin Cake. Apples are great in so many recipes, not just dessert! This Healthy Carrot Apple Ginger Soup, is a family favorite and it is one of the most popular recipes here on the blog!

HOW DO I MAKE THE APPLE PIZZA?
The Apple Pizza comes together in just a few simple steps. There also several variations of the recipe to try!

Can I store the Apple Pizza?
The Apple Pizza can be stored in airtight container in the refrigerator for 3 days. It can also be placed in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months. Sometimes, I put the slices in individual bags, so if the kids want a treat I can heat up a piece at a time.
How do I reheat the Apple Pizza?
To reheat it, place in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds. If frozen, thaw on counter top first, then microwave.
Are there any variations to the Apple Pizza Recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to get creative with this simple recipe. Here are some other ideas to try:
- Pears: This is great with a combo of pear and apple slices, or use pears instead of the apples
- Raisins: Apples and raising are a classic combo. Sprinkle some raisins on top of apples before adding the rolled oats.
- Peanut Butter: Instead of caramel sauce, drizzle with warmed peanut butter sauce.
- Cheddar Cheese: This is definitely outside of the box, but if you have ever tried apples slices and cheddar cheese together, you know what a delicious combination of sweet and salty it is! For this variation, sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over apple slices before adding the oats.
- Granola: Instead of rolled oats, use granola for a topping.
- Apple Varieties: This recipe is fun to make with a combination of apple varieties like: Gala, Granny Smith and MacIntosh apples.
- Serve A La Mode: This apple pizza is delicious all by itself, but I personally love it topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of homemade whipped cream.
