Dessert on the grill is a great way to finish off a family cookout or backyard bbq. We love this Grilled Peach Cobbler Dump Cake when we are cooking dinner on the grill.

How to Make Apple Pie Pizza:

- Mix brown sugar and cinnamon together.
- Sprinkle half of brown sugar mixture over the apples and mix well. Set aside while you prepare the pizza dough.
- Roll pizza dough into about an 8 inch circle.
- Spread with softened butter.
- Sprinkle a pizza peel with cornmeal, liberally.
- Place buttered pizza dough over peel. Push up the outside of the dough to create the pizza edge.

- Layer apple slices over cinnamon sugar.
- Pour a bit of the juice from the sliced apples over the top.
- Sprinkle with remaining cinnamon sugar mixture.
To Grill:

- Carefully slide pizza onto a pizza stone coated with cornmeal.
- Cook pizza with the grill closed for about 5 minutes. Using a large spatula, turn pizza a quarter turn.
- Repeat every five minutes until pizza crust is crispy, about 20 minutes total.
- Remove to a cutting board.
- Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.
Oven Directions:
- Bake on a pizza stone or pizza pan at 425° for 20 -25 minutes or until crust is crispy.
Apple pie pizza makes a great hand held dessert to finish off any meal on the grill. Top it off with a cream cheese icing drizzle or serve with vanilla ice cream for a more decadent dessert.
This dessert pizza was a huge hit with our whole family and was even better than the dessert pizzas from the pizza joint that we all love.
