Ingredients
Dough
- 16 ounce pizza dough
Streusel Topping
- 2 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cold butter (cubed)
Topping
- 2 Honeybear Pazazz Apples (cored & thinly sliced)
Icing
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the dessert pizza.
- Make Streusel Topping: In a medium bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, and ground cinnamon. This mixture will form the crumbly, flavorful topping for the apples.
- Add Butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your hands to mix the butter into the dry ingredients until it forms a coarse crumble. Set this streusel topping aside.
- Shape Dough: Spread the pizza dough out on a baking sheet into your preferred shape, either a circle or a heart, creating an even base for the fruit and topping.
- Arrange Apples: Thinly slice the cored Honeybear Pazazz apples and arrange them evenly over the shaped dough. This layer adds juicy natural sweetness to the dessert.
- Sprinkle Streusel: Evenly sprinkle the prepared crumbly streusel topping over the arranged apple slices to ensure every bite has a crisp, cinnamon flavor.
- Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the topping is slightly crisp.
- Prepare Icing: While the pizza bakes, combine the powdered sugar and milk in a small bowl. Stir until smooth and slightly runny to create a drizzle-friendly icing.
- Drizzle and Serve: Remove the baked pizza from the oven and immediately drizzle the powdered sugar icing over the top. Allow it to set slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Notes
- Use cold butter for the streusel to achieve a crumbly texture.
- If Honeybear Pazazz apples are unavailable, substitute with other crisp, sweet apple varieties like Fuji or Honeycrisp.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk in the icing.
- Serve this dessert pizza warm for the best taste and texture experience.
