Sweet meets savory in every bite!

When cool evenings roll in, this flatbread is the perfect way to bring a little autumn magic to your table. Our Barton Creek Cinnamon Apple Pie Butter adds a rich, spiced sweetness that pairs beautifully with melty cheese and caramelized onions. It’s quick enough for a weeknight dinner yet elegant enough for a fall party appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 1 store-bought pizza dough (or 2 small flatbreads)
  • 3 Tbsp olive oil, divided
  • 1 cup thinly sliced yellow onions
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • ½ cup Barton Creek Cinnamon Apple Pie Butter
  • 1 cup shredded fontina or mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup crumbled goat cheese
  • 2 Tbsp chopped fresh thyme or rosemary
  • Pinch of salt & pepper
  • Optional: handful of arugula for topping

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F. If using pizza dough, stretch to a 12" round or rectangle.
  2. Caramelize onions: In a skillet, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium-low. Add onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, 12–15 minutes until golden. Stir in balsamic vinegar; cook 1 more minute.
  3. Assemble flatbread: Place dough or flatbreads on a parchment-lined sheet. Brush with remaining olive oil. Spread apple butter evenly, sprinkle with fontina, then top with caramelized onions and goat cheese. Add pepper and fresh herbs.
  4. Bake 12–15 minutes, until crust is crisp and cheese is bubbly.
  5. Finish & serve: Top with fresh arugula if you like. Slice and serve warm.

Serving Suggestions 

  • Cut into thin strips for a shareable appetizer.
  • Pair with a crisp green salad and a glass of chilled white wine for an easy dinner.
  • Add a drizzle of hot honey for a sweet-heat kick.

This cozy flatbread showcases how versatile apple butter can be—sweet enough for dessert, but oh-so tasty in a savory dish. 🍂
