Apple Cinnamon dessert Pizza with Oats streusel and a Salted Caramel drizzle

As I unpacked after returning home it hit me suddenly that it was already weekend and the Foodie Monday Bloghop theme was Pizzamania for which I had not bothered to think and decide with the reunion memories still clouding my mind. As I racked my brains I decided to go for a dessert pizza for its uniqueness and because my friends call me The Dessert Queen. Yes… making some new kind of Dessert gives me a real high.

As I googled for a dessert Pizza I couldn’t believe my eyes, the Internet was flooded with loads of them. As I zeroed down on an Apple Cinnamon Streusel Pizza, I could taste the sinful dessert in my mind. I planned to drizzle it with salted caramel sauce as apples, cinnamon and caramel are made for each other, they compliment each other so well.

Streusel is a crumbly topping of flour, butter and sugar that’s baked on top of cakes, pies, muffins etc which originated in Germany and the name translates “to strew or to scatter”. Normally spices, nuts, coconut and oats are added to the flour mixture. Streusels always have a higher content of sugar than flour resulting in a more granular texture and this ratio separates German streusel from a crumble.

The tender, lightly sweet pizza crust is topped with cooked apple and cinnamon mixture and topped again with cinnamon streusel and finally baked and drizzled with a salted caramel sauce .
