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!

- 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.

How do you make the dough??
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/
We’ve also updated this page with a link to the dough recipe to support readers in the future, so thank you for bringing it to our attention. Let us know how it goes!
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.
Next time try cinnamon honey, some honeys I buy are more thick and I think would stand up in this recipe.
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.
