Calories: 2296kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil divided, plus more for brushing the pizza crusts
- 2½ pounds white or yellow onions thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 large apples cored and thinly sliced
- 8 slices bacon chopped
- 2 gluten-free pizza crusts 8-9 inch
- 1½ cups grated cheddar cheese or dairy-free cheddar shreds
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the sliced onions, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until deeply golden brown, 30-40 minutes.
- In a separate large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced apples and cook, turning occasionally, until the apples are soft and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Place the chopped bacon in a cold skillet. Turn the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 8 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Brush the pizza crusts with olive oil. Sprinkle ¾ cup of cheese evenly on each crust. Divide the caramelized onions evenly between the crusts and place the apple slices in a circle, overlapping them slightly. Top with the cooked bacon and cook for 7 minutes or until the cheese is melted. Cut into slices and serve immediately.
