Apple Pie Pizza With Vanilla Icing Drizzle

What's better than pizza?
Dessert pizza!!

Not only is this recipe super easy but deliciously combines a pie crust, apple filling, a brown sugar oatmeal crumble, and vanilla icing drizzle. 

Are you drooling yet? 

Ok here's what your going to need...

Ingredients: 
5 medium to small sized granny smith apples
peeled, cored, and cut into slices about 1/8 in. thick  
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons of brown sugar
2 Tablespoons of cornstarch
1 Tablespoon of lemon juice
2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon
1/4 cup of old fashioned rolled oats
3 Tablespoons of melted butter
2 Tablespoons of all purpose flour
1 store bought, refrigerated 9 in. pie crust
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 Tablespoon of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of kosher salt

Vanilla Icing Drizzle:
1 Tablespoon of milk
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 
1 cup of confectioners sugar

Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and take the pie crust out of the refrigerator to thaw. 

Peel the skin off of the apples, and cut into 1/8 in. slices, making sure to cut out all of the tough core. 




Add apple slices to a large bowl and combine with 1/2 cup of brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and cinnamon. 


In another bowl, combine the remaining 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, oats, butter, flour, and salt. The salt will add a great cut to the sweetness of the dessert!


Your going to need your pie crust to be a little bigger than 9 in. to be able to fit all of your filling, so you will need to roll out the dough to about 11 or 12 inches in diameter. 
Do this on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin so that it doesn't stick. 
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, or use a pizza stone like I did!


Pour the apple filling into the middle of your pie crust, leaving about an inch around the edge. 
Fold the excess dough over to create your outer crust.
Sprinkle the oatmeal crumble on top.


Lightly beat and egg and then brush onto the outer crust so that it will brown in the oven. 
Sprinkle with sugar. 
I wrapped my crust with foil, just as a way to prevent burning. 


Bake in the oven for 40 to 45 minutes until the apples are tender. 


After the pizza has cooled slightly, mix together the milk, vanilla, and confectioners sugar until it is smooth and fluid. You may need to gradually add more milk if it remains too thick. 
Drizzle the icing over the pizza.
