DUST work surface with flour. Divide pizza dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll each piece into thin circle, placing two circles on each baking sheet.
DIVIDE onions among pizzas. Top each with some of cheddar, followed by apple slices. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
BAKE pizzas on top and bottom racks, exchanging positions and rotating midway, for 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is crispy and cheese is bubbling and lightly golden.
