Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the apple crisp pizza.
Prepare Dough: Roll out the pie dough evenly and press it into a 12-inch pizza pan to form the crust base.
Mix Apple Filling: In a bowl, combine sugar, 3 tablespoons of flour, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Toss the peeled and sliced apples into this mixture until they are well coated.
Assemble Apples: Spread the cinnamon-sugar coated apple slices evenly over the prepared dough in the pizza pan.
Make Crumble Topping: In another bowl, combine 1/2 cup flour, brown sugar, oats, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Cut in the softened butter with a pastry blender or fork until the mixture becomes crumbly.
Add Crumble: Sprinkle the prepared crumbly topping evenly over the apples.
Bake: Place the pizza pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Add Caramel Drizzle: Remove the apple crisp pizza from the oven and drizzle with caramel ice cream topping or caramel apple dip before serving.

Notes

Use baking apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture and flavor.
Let the apple crisp pizza cool slightly before slicing to allow the topping to set.
For a richer crust, you can brush the edges with a little melted butter before baking.
Optional: Serve with vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
