Easy Oktoberfest Pizza Recipe: Sausage, green apples, gouda, and arugula come together to make this delightfully delicious Pizza that your family will love!
I just love quick and easy recipes.
Sure, it’s fun to try a new technique or make a from-scratch recipe now and then, but for the most part, I like to stick with simple, quick, and “semi-homemade” type recipes. You know the ones I’m talking about… Scrumptious cakes made with a boxed cake mix, tarts made with crescent rolls, or even cookies made with a boxed brownie mix
This Easy Oktoberfest Pizza Recipe, inspired by the Pillsbury Bake-off winner, Sarah Campbell’s Oktoberfest Pizza recipe, is especially easy. The pizza starts out with a Package of refrigerated Pillsbury Pizza Crust Dough and just a few other ingredients.
The flavors of Gouda cheese, sausage, and Granny Smith apples come together to make this one yummy Oktoberfest-style pizza! The optional Arugula, with its bold, peppery flavor, really made the pizza stand out. (Kids picked it off, of course, but I thought it was great, lol.)

Ingredients
- 1 can (13.8 oz) Pillsbury refrigerated classic pizza crust
- 6 oz Polska-kielbasa sausage, cut into 1/2-inch diagonal slices
- 1 medium shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)

- 8 oz smoked Gouda cheese, shredded
- 1/2 Granny Smith apple, cored and cut into 1/4-inch slices

Instructions
- Heat oven to 425°F. Lightly sprinkle 18×13-inch sheet pan or large cookie sheet with flour.
- Unroll pizza dough onto pan; press dough into a 17×12-inch rectangle, forming thicker dough edges. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until just starting to brown.
- Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat the sausage over medium heat, for about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from skillet to plate; set aside.
- In the same skillet, cook shallot over medium heat for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat.
- Evenly spread mustard over partially baked pizza crust to within 1/2 inch from the edges. Sprinkle half of the cheese onto the pizza crust. Top with sausage, apple slices, shallot, and remaining cheese.
- Brush edges of crust with beaten egg; sprinkle lightly with salt.
- Bake 6 to 8 minutes or until the cheese is melted. To serve, top with arugula; cut into 8 slices.
