Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • One 9-inch pie crust (homemade or store-bought)

For the Filling

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups peeled and diced apples (Gala, Fuji, Braeburn, or Empire)

For the Topping

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup densely packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup salted butter, softened

For the Drizzle

  • 1/2 cup premium caramel sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) so it is ready for baking.
  2. Prepare the Pie Crust: Spread the pie crust evenly on a 12-inch pizza pan. Fold the edges slightly upward to create a rim to hold the filling securely.
  3. Mix the Filling Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine granulated sugar, all-purpose flour, and ground cinnamon. Add the peeled and diced apples to this mixture and toss until the apples are evenly coated. Spread the apple mixture uniformly over the prepared pie crust.
  4. Create the Topping: In another bowl, mix all-purpose flour, brown sugar, rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and softened butter. Use a fork or your hands to combine until the mixture becomes crumbly. Evenly sprinkle this topping over the apple filling.
  5. Bake: Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the apple filling is soft and bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
  6. Add Caramel Drizzle: Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly to prevent burns and help it set. Drizzle the premium caramel sauce generously over the top before serving for a rich finish.

Notes

  • Use firm apples like Gala, Fuji, Braeburn, or Empire to ensure the fruit holds its shape and provides the best flavor during baking.
  • Do not skip the cinnamon as it enhances the warming apple flavor significantly.
  • Ensure the topping mixture is crumbly and evenly spread to achieve a perfect golden crust.
  • Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing to maintain structure and avoid the caramel from dripping excessively.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze slices individually for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes for best texture. Microwave or stovetop methods are quicker but may affect crispness.
