I was afraid when I decided to make this pizza, that I would be the only one eating it. Well, my brother loved it too and we've since made it again for friends.
It was a hit. Everyone loved it. Well, the kids thought it was strange but well, kids ARE strange.
I used the same crust recipe that I used for my Buffalo Ranch Chicken pizza. I'm really loving this crust!
What also surprised me about this pizza is how heavy it is. Like taking it out of the oven takes some muscles. I guess putting several pounds of caramelized onions gets really heavy!
The more the better though! It was delicious!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds a little weird, but I can see why you like it! I'd love to try this one day!
ReplyDeleteI would have never thought to put this combination together. Sometimes the strangest mix of ingredients results in a wonderful palate pleasing dish!
ReplyDeleteThis does sound a little trippy but I can see how the flavors would compliment one another. I'm a big fan of hot/sweet or sweet/savory. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteWow! What a creative way to make pizza! Apples and onions are a killer combination, and I never would have thought to use them on pizza myself. That's why I love the blogging world . . . =)

ReplyDeleteI just love different and unique pizzas. This sounds delicious to me. I've never had apples on pizza before. Thank you so much for sharing this with Cookbook Sundays Debbi and enjoy the rest of your day!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds fantastic, Debbie. It might be considered unusual but non-foodies but foodies are so much smarter when it comes to different combinations. I hope I can make this soon.
