Apple Pizza and Fruit Crisp Recipes

Wild apples are usually "tart" enough to make flavorful apple desserts.Apple Pizza is a different way of making an apple pie, but you make it on a pizza pan. There are several Fruit Pizza recipes included below too.
Below that, there are several varieties of Apple Crisp recipes. Apple Crisp is really good, and easy to make.
