Preparation

Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
Wash and dry all produce.
Core, then cut apple into 1/4-inch slices.
Peel, then cut onion into 1/2-inch slices.
Thinly slice green onion.
To a large bowl, add vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Season with salt and pepper, then whisk until sugar dissolves.
Add apples to the dressing, then toss to combine. Set aside.

In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp ( 1 tbsp) oil over medium high.
When hot, add sausage. Cook for 3-5 min, breaking up sausage into smaller pieces, until no pink remains.**
Carefully drain and discard excess fat.
Add half the BBQ sauce. Cook for 30 sec, stirring occasionally, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat, then transfer to a plate.
Carefully wipe the pan clean.

Reheat the same pan over medium-high.
When hot, add 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil, then onions. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until tender. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove from heat.
Transfer onions to the plate with sausage, then cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, on a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange flatbreads. (NOTE: For 4 servings, use 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.)
Toast flatbreads in the middle of the oven for 2-3 min, until softened. (NOTE: For 4 servings, toast in the top and middle of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)

Spread marinara sauce over toasted flatbreads.
Top with sausage and onions, then sprinkle cheese over top.
Bake in the middle of the oven for 6-8 min, until cheese is melted and flatbreads are golden and crisp. (NOTE: For 4 servings, bake flatbreads in the top and middle of the oven, rotating sheets halfway through.)
