recipe: apple & onion pizza

pizza again! i had to use the second half of the crust in the fridge. this was insipired by the frozen Barber chicken breasts stuffed with apple, onion & brie... LOVE those things. i've since made apple & onion grilled cheese which is delectable, the pizza just seemed like a natural fit. i made a half a pizza, but am including the full recipe below.

ingredients list:
- 1 recipe for pizza dough or fresh store-bought
- 1 golden delicious apple, sliced into thin slices
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce
- 1/2 a yellow onion, diced
- 1-1.5 cups mozz cheese (brie would also work well)
- garlic salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp parsley
- pinch salt
- olive oil

to make: mix 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and parsley in small bowl and set aside. preheat the oven (with pizza stone in the oven also) to 450 degrees.

roll out pizza dough on lightly floured surface. lightly flour the hot pizza stone, then carefully transfer the dough to the hot stone. spread cranberry sauce onto the dough, then pile on first some cheese, the apple, the onion, more cheese, and a few dashes of garlic salt and parsley (and any other desired seasonings). bake in preheated oven for about 14-16 minutes.

within the last few minutes of cooking, brush the crust with the garlic olive oil mixture. allow to cool a few minutes before serving

this is one of the quickest pizzas i've ever made b/c it's so few ingredients, but i loved it. i almost always pre-cook the onion before adding it to a pizza but skipped that here b/c i wanted it to have a little more bite to stand up against the sweet apple. sweet, salty...oniony... yes. if i had it on hand, some sweet sausage would be awesome on this (or maybe bacon mmmmm). my one ooopsie was forgetting to put my cranberry sauce down first... i blobbed it down after. not a great presentation, but yum nonetheless which is what matters.
