Smokey Apple Onion Pizza

So how exactly does one name a pizza? This pizza needs a name. Besides delicious. I could have given it one of those long gourmet names that includes every ingredient, but where's the fun in that? Make and eat this pizza. You'll thank me later.

1 pizza crust of your choice (dough, pre-baked, flat bread, whatever!)
smoked Gouda, grated (8 ounces for a 14 inch pizza)
cooked bacon crumbled
1 apple cored, diced, and steamed for a couple minutes to soften
caramelized onions

Pre-heat oven to 450 F. Spread 3/4 grated cheese on bottom crust. Sprinkle caramelized onions, apples, and bacon over the cheese. Sprinkle with remaining cheese and bake for 15 minutes or so for an uncooked crust.

Caramelized Onions

1 large onion, peeled and sliced
4 tablespoons butter

Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat. Add onions and cook over low heat for 20-30 minutes stirring occasionally until onions are golden and very soft.
