Ingredients needed to make apple pizza dessert

• Pizza Crust. Use a refrigerator section premade dough or make your own dough. There is a homemade dough recipe below.
• Butter. Use regular salted butter for a flavor balance. The butter is divided.
• Brown Sugar. This is also divided.
• Water. Regular tap water should work fine.

• Apple Pie Spice. Cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice can alternatively be used.

For the frosting.

• Cream Cheese. Your cream cheese should be softened.

Tips for making the best air fryer dessert pizza.

Using two kind of apples is a great way to add an interesting flavor to this dessert. Honeycrisp and Fuji are sweeter baking apples that balance nicely with more tart baking apples such as Granny Smith and Cortland apples.

More helpful tips for you.

1. Precooking the crust slightly can help keep it from getting soggy.
2. Instead of caramelizing your own apples, use an apple pie filling instead.
3. Not a fan of pizza dough? Use a cookie dough, such as sugar cookie dough, instead.
4. Feel free to omit the frosting if that is too sweet for you.
5. For a crunchy element, top your pizza with chopped nuts.
6. This recipe can be made with other fruit, such as pears, instead of or with the apples.
