These cute mini pizzas are sweet instead of savory and make for a tasty treat when you have extra apples on hand. The sliced fruit gets deliciously tender in the oven while the granola topping crisps up to create the perfect pairing of contrasting textures. Whip up a cinnamon vegan yogurt sauce to drizzle over the top, and get ready to dig in!

Tip: Make your own pizza dough from scratch using our Homemade Oil-Free Pizza Dough recipe.

Ingredients

12 oz. store-bought or Homemade Oil-Free Pizza Dough
2 medium apples, cored, peeled if desired, and thinly sliced
5 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 cup purchased oil-free granola with no chocolate or nuts
1 cup plain vegan yogurt
⅛ tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Divide dough into four portions. Roll or pat each portion into a 6-inch circle, pinching edges to form a rim. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Arrange apples on pizza crusts. In a small bowl stir together 4 tablespoons of the maple syrup, the flour, lemon juice, and 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon. Spoon mixture over apples. Top with granola.
Bake pizzas 12 to 15 minutes or until crusts are lightly browned and apples are tender.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl whisk together yogurt, vanilla, and the remaining 1 tablespoon maple syrup and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Spoon over baked pizzas.

Hi Jill,
You can buy premade whole wheat pizza dough from the store or make homemade dough with this recipe: https://www.forksoverknives.com/recipes/vegan-baked-stuffed/oil-free-vegan-pizza-dough/

My family really enjoyed these (vegans and nonvegans)! It was a fun and delicious treat. I bought my dough from Wegman’s which has its own make-your-own-pizza section. Next time I will use vanilla plant yogurt. My family preferred the sauce a little sweeter and adding more maple syrup made the sauce a bit too runny.

This was quite tasty and a nice treat at the end of the day. But for an organization the size of Forks over Knives I am continually amazed that you don’t give the nutrient totals for you recipes. There are many of us that have certain needs or requirements we need to follow until we are healed by the plant based diet. I see many have requested this service. Please, please, please!

verywellfit.com supposedly can do that for you. If that one doesn’t work, look for others. Good luck.
