Prepare the Apples
First, I’ll need to peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. You can use any apple you like, but Granny Smiths are popular because they are tart.
Then, in a large bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon, flour, and apple slices until well coated. This will create a flavorful and sweet filling for your pizza.
Making the Crust
You can use a ready-made crust for the pizza or make your own. I must combine flour, salt, yeast, and water in a large bowl to make my pizza crust. I then knead it until the dough is smooth and elastic.
After preparing the dough, I can roll it on a floured work surface and transfer it onto a pizza pan lightly greased. Then, I can fold the edges to create an elevated lip to keep the apple filling.
Making the Crisp Topping
Combine flour, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Then, I can add cold butter and mix until it is crumbly.
When the topping is ready, I will sprinkle it over the apple filling evenly, covering the entire surface.
Once the ingredients are ready, I bake the crispy apple pizza at 375 degrees F in a preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the apples become tender and the crust turns golden brown. After baking the apple crisp pizza, it can be removed from the oven to cool down for a few minutes before cutting and serving.
