Make them for brunch, or a light supper, served with a green salad.<p class="paragraph"/> <h3 class="heading-1.1">INGREDIENTS<p class="paragraph"/></h3> flour for baking and rolling pantry<p class="paragraph"/> 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil pantry<p class="paragraph"/> 2 medium onions, sliced thinly $1<p class="paragraph"/> 1/2 teaspoon each salt and black pepper pantry<p class="paragraph"/> &#49; recipe pizza dough $1.50<p class="paragraph"/> 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced thinly $2<p class="paragraph"/> 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese $3.50 for 8 oz.<p class="paragraph"/> Total cost of ingredients: $7.50<p class="paragraph"/> <h3 class="heading-1.1">DIRECTIONS </h3> Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lightly flour a baking sheet and set aside.<p class="paragraph"/> Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and stir a few times, to distribute the oil evenly. Add the salt and pepper and stir again. Cook for 18-20 minutes, allowing to caramelize, stirring once or twice throughout cooking.<p class="paragraph"/> While the onions caramelize, divide the dough into four even balls on a lightly floured surface. Use your hands or a rolling pin to roll each ball out into a 6-inch circle. Set the circles on the prepared baking sheet (it’s OK if they touch—they won’t when you’re done assembling the tartlets).<p class="paragraph"/> Arrange about half-an-apple’s worth of slices on a circle (as if you were making apple pie) in the center of one of the dough circles. Make sure to leave about 1 1/2 inches of dough at the border.<p class="paragraph"/> Top the circle of apples with about one-fourth of the caramelized onions. Fold the border of the dough in, to form a tartlet (it’s supposed to look rustic, so don’t worry about making it look perfect). Sprinkle the whole thing (crust included) with about one-eighth cup cheddar cheese.<p class="paragraph"/> Repeat the tartlet-making process with the remaining ingredients.<p class="paragraph"/> Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese is bubbly. Serve whole or cut into wedges.<p class="paragraph"/> <i class="ital">Serves 4.</i>Fins 0.9.7http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss
