Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 cup (237 g) water, warmed (about 105°-110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • cup (75 g) vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, divided
  • 2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour

Cinnamon Butter Topping

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon cinnamon

Apple Topping

Crumble Topping

Glaze

  • 1 cup (125 g) confectioners' sugar
  • 1-2 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

Crust

  • In a large bowl, combine the water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, or until the yeast begins to bloom.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and ½ teaspoon salt.
  • Pour half of the oil mixture into the yeast mixture. Set the remaining mixture aside.
  • Add the flour and remaining ½ teaspoon salt to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine.
  • Add the dough to a greased bowl and cover. Let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place, or until the dough has doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
  • Pour the remaining oil mixture onto the lined pizza pan.
  • Transfer the risen dough to the pizza pan. Work the dough to the edges and use your fingers to create dimples in the dough.
  • Bake for 10 minutes.
  • While the crust is baking for the first time, make the cinnamon butter and crumble.

Cinnamon Butter Topping

  • To a microwave-safe bowl, add butter, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Heat for about 30 seconds. Stir to combine.

Crumble Topping

  • To make the crumble topping, mix together the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, salt, and melted butter in a small bowl.

Assembly

  • After the dough has been removed from the oven, brush the cinnamon butter over the crust in a thin layer, covering the entire surface.
  • Spread the apple pie filling over the cinnamon butter layer.
  • Sprinkle the crumble topping over the apple pie filling, covering the entire surface to the outer edge.
  • Place back into the oven for 13-15 minutes, or until the crumble is golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes. While the bread is cooling, make the glaze.

Glaze

  • In a separate bowl, mix confectioners' sugar and 1 tablespoon milk until smooth and creamy. If the glaze is too thick, add more milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the warm pizza. Enjoy!
