Ingredients:
Apple Filling
2 tbsp butter
3 Granny smith apples, peeled & sliced
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Dough Base
1 Can of pizza dough
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Crumble Topping
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 cup flour
Icing
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tbsp milk
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Start by preparing the filling for your deep dish apple pizza. In a medium sized skillet melt your butter. Add in your apples and stir so they are all coated with butter and let cook for about 5 minutes.
Add your brown sugar and cinnamon and mix it through, allowing it to thicken on the heat for a few moments. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
Spray a 9 inch round pan or spring-form pan with cooking spray. Line it with your pizza dough forming a little bit of a crust around the edge. Then brush the melted butter over it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together your sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle it over the crust.
Pour your cooled apple filling over the crust and spread it in an even layer so it will cook properly.
In a mixing bowl, prepare your crumble topping. Combine the sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt with the melted butter and stir.
Add the flour to the bowl and fold it in until combined in a crumble texture.
Spread the crumble over the apple pizza.
Place the pizza in the over for 8 – 10 minutes or until the crust is cooked and golden brown.
While it cooks, mix your powdered sugar with the milk to create a light glaze for the top of your pizza.
Once the pizza is finished cooking pour the glaze on top and then you are ready to enjoy!
