Dessert Pizza

I just LOVE restaurant "fake" recipes, like the Chili's salsa I posted a while back. I had this enormous craving for Pizza Hut's dessert pizza. I couldn't find any kind of dessert pizzas in the frozen foods section (I went to 3 grocery stores... when I get a craving I keep looking till I find the thing I want... I can't imagine what this is going to be like when I'm pregnant)... anyway, couldn't find one. So I decided to search google for a imitation recipe and make my own! It was delicious!

**Note: If you have a feeling you will be coming to our place for supper in the next few months, don't make this because I'll probably make it for you. Now that everyones had the chocolate eclair dessert!!



INGREDIENTS

1 large can cherry, blueberry or apple pie filling (I used blueberry)
1 recipe pizza dough (I used the Pillsbury one in a can)
1/2 cup flower
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup quick oats
1/2 cup firm butter
1 tsp cinnamon
2 cups confectioner's sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. (The recipe said 500, but I found that my crust cooked too quickly, so I would take it down a notch).

Combine ingredients for crumb topping: flour, brown sugar, quick oats, 1/2 cup firm butter, cinnamon. Mix well with a pastry cutter or fork.

Combine all ingredients for the glaze: confectioner's sugar, milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, vanilla extract.

(This is the nice part about making it for guests - you can do all the combining and just keep it in the fridge and do assembly when its time to eat!)

Roll out the dough onto a pan after using non-stick spray. Prick the dough all over with a fork. Brush with vegetable oil. Bake for 3 minutes.

Remove from oven and cover with the pie filling. Next, add the crumb topping. Return to the oven and bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until crust is light golden brown.

Remove and drizzle with vanilla glaze.

Enjoy!!
