Apple Pie Pizza

 

Do you ever crave apple pie, but not want to go through all the work to make it?! Well I have a great recipe for you then! The other night I really wanted something good for dessert, but did not feel like cleaning up a large mess.

I looked in the fridge and saw we had some apples but not enough to make a whole apple pie. We also had a crust in the freezer. I thought why not marry apple pie, apple crisp, and pizza together?! Bam! Something delicious was born! It is the perfect portion for about four people, even though James and I made it a two person portion! We are pigs!

This Apple Pie Pizza also has a little bit of a pecan pie edge to it because of the added chopped pecans. They really added more depth to the dish, and I am so happy I decided to throw some in there!

Apple Pie Pizza:

• 2 medium apples, diced and peeled


• 1 pre-made pie crust, defrosted


• 2 tbsp butter, melted


• 1 tbsp cornstarch


• 1/2 tsp cinnamon


• 1/4 cup oats


• 1/3 cup brown sugar, divided in half


• 1/2 tsp salt


• 1/3 cup chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350.


2. In a 9-inch round non-stick pan, press out your pie crust. Make sure it covers the bottom of the pan and rises about 1 inch on the sides.


3. Combine diced apples, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and half of the brown sugar in a bowl.


4. Combine oats, other half of the brown sugar, and pecans in another bowl.


5. Place apples in the pie crust. Cover with oats, brown sugar, and pecans. Pour melted butter over the crumb topping.


6. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Enjoy!

Tip: I would suggest letting the Apple Pie Pizza to cool before cutting a serving for prettier slices!
