In 12-inch skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Add sweet onions and thyme; cook about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden. Stir in salt and pepper. Remove onions from skillet; set aside.

Many compliments at party. Would like to try drizzling BBQ sauce on it next time. But will definitely make again.

I thought this pizza was pretty good. I was a little worried about there not being any sauce on it, but I think the caramelized onions were a really good addition. I do think that there needed to be a little bit more sweetness. I think next time I might add a little more sugar to the apples when cooking them. My husband dipped the pizza in bbq sauce to get that extra sweetness, but I liked it just the way it was. It was different and interesting! I'll be making it again.
