APPLE, HONEY & CARAMELIZED ONION FLATBREAD PIZZA

Steps:

• First, the long part requiring patience: make the caramelized onions for your pizza. Heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine thoroughly. Cook over medium until the onions become translucent. Then turn down the heat and cook slowly, stirring frequently, until golden and irresistibly fragrant. Remove from heat. That was the hard part!
• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
• Assemble your pizza: spray your your pan/stone lightly with cooking oil, then sprinkle it scantly with the cornmeal. Spread your prepared pizza dough over this in a circle (or awkward oval like mine). Top this with your caramelized onions. Next arrange the apple slices--I did a mix of finely sliced "honey crisp" and "granny smith" apple, using just a bit less than one apple total. Top the apple layer with the cheeses: first the brie, then just a bit of mozzarella, then the parmesan. Drizzle the pizza lightly with a good honey. Then sprinkle artistically with parsley because you've now committed to this strange pizza.
• Cook this in the preheated oven for 15-25 minutes, or until the crust is slightly crisp and the cheeses begin to turn golden-brown. Enjoy!
• Tip: a sprinkle of crushed red peppers or drizzle of extra honey and sriracha never hurts!

HAM, CHEDDAR, AND APPLE BUTTER OPEN-FACED SANDWICHES (OR PIZZA)

Steps:

• Brush cut side of rolls with oil.
• Place rolls, cut side up, on baking sheet, and broil until rolls begin to brown around edges, about 2 minutes. For pizza, use crust of choice, brush with a light coating of oil, and prebake.
• Spread apple butter and mustard on each roll half. For pizza, spread the mustard over the whole crust and add the apple butter as small dollops (over whole crust).
• Top with ham, then cheese (if using onion/spinach addition, add after ham or any desired order).
• Broil until cheese melts and begins to brown in spots (2 minutes for sandwiches; if baking a pizza, probably 7 to 8 minutes--not under broiler--are fine depending on the directions for the dough used). It is good if some of the edges of the sliced meat get a little singed!
• Optional: sprinkle with chopped chives. Black pepper is a good addition at the end as well.
