A sweet and indulgent dessert pizza with a buttery crust, cherry pie filling, a golden crumble topping, and finished with a sweet glaze. Perfect for any occasion, especially when served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients

1 cup (237 g) warm water (about 105°-110°F)

2 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon active dry yeast

⅓ cup (75 g) vegetable oil, divided

2 ½ cups (312.5 g) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

**For the Topping**

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling (or about 2 cups homemade)

**For the Crumble Topping**

1 cup (125 g) all-purpose flour

⅔ cup (133 g) granulated sugar

6 tablespoons light brown sugar

½ teaspoon kosher salt

½ cup (1 stick / 113 g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly

**For the Glaze**

1 cup (125 g) confectioners’ sugar

1 tablespoon whole milk

¼ teaspoon almond extract

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and yeast. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes, or until the yeast blooms and becomes foamy.
  2. Add half of the vegetable oil to the yeast mixture, saving the rest for later.
  3. Stir in the flour and salt until the dough begins to come together. It will form a soft, slightly sticky dough.
  4. Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  5. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a 12-inch pizza pan with parchment paper.
  6. Once the dough has risen, pour the remaining oil onto the prepared pizza pan. Transfer the dough to the pan and use your fingers to press it out to the edges. Create dimples in the dough with your fingertips.
  7. Bake the dough for 10 minutes, or until it’s lightly golden.
  8. While the crust is baking, in a small bowl, combine the melted butter and granulated sugar. Stir until well combined.
  9. Once the crust is out of the oven, brush the entire surface with the butter and sugar mixture.
  10. Spread the cherry pie filling evenly over the crust. Set aside.
  11. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, brown sugar, and salt for the crumble topping.
  12. Pour in the melted butter and stir until the mixture forms clumps.
  13. Sprinkle the crumble mixture evenly over the cherry pie filling, covering it completely.
  14. Return the pizza to the oven and bake for 13-15 minutes, or until the crumble topping is golden brown.
  15. In a small bowl, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, milk, and almond extract for the glaze until smooth.
  16. Drizzle the glaze over the warm cherry dessert pizza once it’s out of the oven.
  17. Let the pizza cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra decadence.

Substitute the cherry pie filling with other fruit fillings like blueberry, apple, or peach.

Make it gluten-free by swapping the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.

For a crunchier topping, bake a little longer or add oats to the crumble mixture.
