  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Pizza Base

  • 1 gluten free pizza crust (homemade from gluten free pizza crust mix or store-bought)

Toppings

  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 apple, cored and thinly sliced
  • 4 ounces herbed vegan cashew cheese, softened or at room temperature (or vegan goat cheese alternative)
  • 3 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 2 tablespoons honey, for drizzling
  • 4 tablespoons vegan butter spread or regular butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the pizza later.
  2. Caramelize Onions: In a pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Once hot, add thinly sliced onions, coating them well with the butter. Cook for about 15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to prevent burning, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
  3. Cook Apples: While onions are cooking, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced apples and sauté for 10 minutes until they become soft. Remove from heat once done.
  4. Assemble Pizza: Spread the herbed vegan cashew cheese evenly over the gluten-free pizza crust. Arrange the sautéed apple slices on top of the cheese, then layer the caramelized onions over the apples.
  5. Bake: Place the assembled pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, until the cheese is slightly melted and the crust is warmed through.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Strip the thyme leaves from the sprigs and sprinkle them over the baked pizza. Drizzle honey generously over the top for a sweet finish. Serve immediately and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can substitute vegan cashew cheese with any soft goat cheese or a vegan goat cheese alternative if preferred.
  • For a fully vegan version, ensure to use a vegan-friendly honey substitute like agave syrup or maple syrup.
  • Keep an eye on the onions and apples as they cook to avoid burning; adjust heat as needed.
  • This recipe works well with store-bought gluten-free pizza crusts for convenience.
  • Leftover pizza can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days and reheated in the oven for best results.
