Ingredients:

2 Tbls Olive Oil
2 Onions, sliced into thin strips
1/3 C Water
1/2 teaspoon kosher Salt
2 Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored and cut in 1/4 inch dice
6oz Castillo Blue Cheese or equal amount of Cambazola, cut into 1/4 cubes.
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped and divided
1 16 oz package Frozen Puff Pastry (keep frozen just until ready to use)
2 Tbls Honey

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

In a sauté pan heat the olive oil over medium high heat, until it is hot and beginning to shimmer. Add the sliced onions and salt, stir to make sure all the onions are coated with oil and then add the water to the pan and cover for 10 minutes to allow the onions to soften.

Once the onions are softened, add the diced apples and continue cooking for about 10 more minutes, until the apples are soft and the onions just begin to turn a light brown. Remove from heat add the cheese and half of the thyme, making sure the cheese melts into the onion mixture. Let cool, in freezer for 10 minutes.

Cut the frozen puff pastry sheets into 2” squares.

Once the onion mixture has cooled place a spoonful of the mixture into the center of each square of puff pastry and place on parchment covered sheet pan and place in oven for 15-20 minutes.

Remove from oven once the tartlets are golden brown.

While still hot from the oven drizzle tartlets with honey and then place a bit of thyme on each as a garnish. Place on serving platter and enjoy!

Makes 32 tartlets.
