Apple, Bacon, and Blue Cheese Tart

This one is both elegant and fun!!
(serve 4-6)

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
Flour, for dusting
1 T. Kerrygold* buter
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
2 Honeycrisp (YUMOLA*) apples, peeled, seeded, and diced
2 T. honey
2 T. balsamic vinegar
2 T. water
Kosher* salt and freshly ground pepper
6 strips applewood* smoked* uncured bacon, cooked and crumbled
1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola or other blue cheese (or goat cheese*)
1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts

Preheat oven to 400. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Gently roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface. With a sharp knife, score a 1/4" border around the whole sheet (do not cut through pastry). Put pastry on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate while preparing filling. Melt butter in a saucepan over med. heat. Add onions and cook until soft, about 5 mins. Stir in apples, honey, vinegar, and water. Simmer until apples are just tender, about 10 mins. Season with S&P. Spread apple filling over puff pastry and bake for 10 mins. Sprinkle bacon, cheese, and walnuts on top and return to the oven. Bake until pastry is golden and puffed around the edges, another 10 mins. Let cool slightly and cut into squares; serve warm.
