Flatbread with Apples and Ricotta

Ingredients: 

1 package of Naan flatbread or mini flatbread 
2 crisp, sweet apples (we used Wacky Apple Honeycrisp but Gala and Fuji are great choices too)
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice, divided
1 cup ricotta cheese
1 teaspoon firmly packed lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup slivered almonds, toasted
1 teaspoon honey

Garnish: thinly sliced fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves

Instructions: 
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line Naan flatbread on a baking sheet. Bake for 5 minutes, just to warm them.

Meanwhile, thinly slice apples; toss with 1/2 tsp. lemon juice.

Stir together ricotta cheese, lemon zest, salt, freshly ground black pepper, and remaining 1 tsp. lemon juice. Spread ricotta mixture over baked crust.

Arrange apples over ricotta mixture, and sprinkle with onion slices and almonds. Drizzle with honey. Cut into squares, and serve immediately.
