FAQs
Some other fruit options are: grapes, bananas, apples, dragon fruit, mandarin oranges, pineapple, peaches, nectarines, or plums. I wouldn’t recommend using melon for this reason. If your fruit is high in water content, you may want to consider patting each piece dry before placing it on your fruit pizza.
A 16” pie pan is a common size pan and you can definitely use it for this recipe. If you would like to fill the entire pan, you want to increase all the other ingredients by about 1/2. Use 1 ½ packages of dough, 1 ½ packages of cream cheese, etc. Another option would be to just make about an 11” circle inside of the 16” pan (because we are allowing a ½ inch just like with a 12” pan) and using the same proportions of ingredients. You may not end up with a perfect circle with this method, but it will allow you to use a pizza pan that you may already have.
If you need to make this ahead of time, prep ingredients the day before and assemble just before serving.
The apricot glaze helps to not only add another depth of flavor to your pizza, it’s also a method used to preserve the fruit and slow the oxidation process. If you don’t have apricot spread available to you, you can use any glaze that is clear or lightly colored. These would include: apricot spread, peach spread, and apple spread. You may even be able to get away with using a strawberry or raspberry glaze depending on how dark red the spread is.

Storage Instructions
You can store fruit pizza in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Make sure that you cover it with plastic wrap. It tends to get soggy after the first day, but it can still be eaten for an additional couple of days.
