If you have a craving for apple pie but don’t have time or energy to bake one from scratch, try this caramel apple dessert pizza. This is so simple to make you can get the kids involved. Besides being delicious, this dessert comes together quickly. In about 20 minutes you’ll be eating well! Be sure to also try our apple muffins and apple cookies.
You will need:
- Pre-cooked pizza crust
- Apple pie filling
- Caramels
- One tablespoon of milk
- Mini marshmallows
- Cinnamon
- Cinnamon Chex (or substitute your favorite flavor)
- White chocolate candy melts
If you are making this Caramel Apple Dessert for a larger group, use a larger crust. If you are making the crust from scratch, bake it prior to adding your toppings.
Kids can help with this step. Spoon apple pie filling on to the crust. Cover the crust with the filling, as you would with sauce on a pizza.
Now, sprinkle on some cinnamon. If your kids are anything like mine, they will over sprinkle, so keep an eye on them.
Next, add some mini marshmallows. You child might eat a few since they are pretty hard to resist.
Now comes my favorite part, the caramel. While you can use caramel syrup, we made our own by melting caramel candy. Melt the candy in a bowl in the microwave (set the microwave to 50% and check it every 30 seconds or so, remembering to stir each time) and add one tablespoon of milk which will thin it out a bit. Now it’s time to drizzle that delicious caramel on the pizza.
Crush some Cinnamon Chex and added it as a crunchy topping to the pizza.
Bake it at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes. If you totally want to go crazy, drizzle some melted white candy melts over the pizza.
This caramel apple dessert pizza is a decadent treat that can be made start to finish in under 20 minutes.
