HONEYCRISP APPLE PIZZA WITH BALSAMIC ONIONS

HONEYCRISP APPLE PIZZA WITH BALSAMIC ONIONS

This recipe is from La Crema.  I was looking for something to pair with Chardonnay for a Chardonnay wine sampling event and decided to give this a try along with some buttered popcorn and cheese.

I don't have Fontina cheese on hand so will try Havarti instead.
