Caramelized onions and apples meet puff pastry for a savory appetizer that’s sure to delight. These caramelized onion tarts are a crowd pleaser.

On a whim, we decided to throw a Christmas Eve Open House. A party on Christmas Eve for whom ever! We thought, surely, no one will come. But guess what?! Lots of people came! And we had so much fun. What a joy to visit and celebrate with friends. I made tons of food, and I was so grateful that people actually came to eat it. 🙂

Caramelized Onion Tarts

These caramelized onion tarts were one of the many things on the menu and definitely was loved by all. It’s really simple to put together. Here’s a short video with all you need to know.

This easy recipe has only 4 ingredients (if you don’t count the salt and pepper) and comest together quite quickly as you can see.

It was so good that I wanted to make it again for a New Year’s eve party we were invited to. Some of the people that had been to my Christmas Eve open house were also at this NYE party, and had also brought this dish. And, it all got gone. This is a winner friends. 🙂

Make ahead strategy: The tarts can be assembled and frozen up to 1 month in advance. Freeze them, unbaked, on parchment lined baking sheets until firm, then wrap in plastic. To cook, bake from frozen at 400 for 40-50 minutes; keep warm at 250. cut just before serving. From Real Simple magazine.
