Apple Crisp Pizza

Apple Crisp Pizza 

This is one of my all time favorite apple recipes.  I saw it many years ago in a Taste of Home magazine and I have made it numerous times over the years, and even changed the recipe a little bit.

For the crust of your pizza, it is just fine to use refrigerated pie crust.  You could probably make your own, but it tastes just a good with pre-made crust.  Roll out in a 12 inch pan.  I do not have a 12 inch pan, so I just used one of our pizza pans.

You will need to use 3-4 medium size apples.   I used for this time, and I actually had a bit more than I needed.   I love my using my  inexpensive apple/peeler/corer.  It only really comes out this time of year, but makes cooking with apples, oh so simple. 

Peel and slice your apples.

To make the apple coating you will need:
2/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Mix the dry ingredients and then cover your apples in the sugar mixture. 

Lay the apples in a single layer in a circular fashion.  I had to many apples for a single layer, but that's okay.  It just means more sweet apple goodness. 

The next step it to make the apple crisp topping.  For this step you will need:
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/3 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter, softened

Mix ingredients together, and sprinkle over pizza

Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes

Immediately drizzle with caramel topping or dip. Instead of drizzling, I smothered on the caramel. Yum!!
