Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil, or as needed
2 pounds onions, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 pound bacon
10 pieces lavash or other flatbread
5 cups pumpkin hummus
3 granny smith apples - peeled,
cored and cut into matchsticks
5 cups shredded fontina cheese

Directions

Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the
onions; cook and stir until they turn soft and begin to turn golden
brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in the brown sugar, and continue
cooking and stirring until the onions are deep brown, about 10
minutes more. Pour in the balsamic vinegar, and simmer until the
vinegar has reduced and become syrupy.
Meanwhile, place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over
medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until crisp and evenly
browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon slices on a paper
towel-lined plate then crumble and set aside.
Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
To assemble the pizzas, spread each piece of lavash with 1/2 cup
of pumpkin hummus and place onto a baking sheet. Sprinkle with
about 1/4 cup of the caramelized onions. Top with some of the
apple and crumbled bacon. Finally, sprinkle with 1/2 cup of fontina
cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the pizza is hot and the cheese is
bubbly and golden brown, about 10 minutes.
