Ingredients
  • APPLES
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1.5 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
  • 1.5 teaspoons whole-grain mustard
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium Honeycrisp apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • FLATBREAD
  • 1 large red onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 3 all-natural smoked chicken chorizo sausage links, thinly sliced (you can substitute pork chorizo if you can't find chicken)
  • 4 teaspoons oil, divided
  • Whole-wheat pizza dough
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil for brushing, plus extra for drizzling over the finished flatbread
  • ½ cup grated Manchego cheese, plus extra cheese shavings for garnish
  • Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  2. Heat two teaspoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced red onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and just starting to brown, about 5-6 minutes. Turn the heat down to medium low and cook for an additional 25-30 minutes or until onions begin to caramelize, stirring more frequently.
  3. While the onions are cooking, roll out the whole-wheat pizza dough on a prepared baking sheet and stick the dough with a fork to prevent air bubbles. Cook the pizza dough in the oven for 10 minutes or until golden.
  4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, thyme, mustard, salt and pepper. Whisk in the olive oil until the vinaigrette is emulsified. Add the apple slices and toss to combine.
  5. Heat the remaining two teaspoons oil in a medium skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices to the pan. Pan-sear the sausages until both sides are browned, about 8 minutes.
  6. Once all the ingredients are ready, brush the pizza dough with three tablespoons olive oil. Then, divide the sausage pieces, caramelized red onions and apple mixture evenly over the pizza dough. Top with grated Manchego cheese.
  7. Cook the flatbread for another 5 min or until cheese melts.
  8. Garnish flatbread with a drizzle of olive oil, freshly ground black pepper,fresh thyme and cheese shavings. Enjoy!
