Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle or square. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.
Brush the surface of the dough with olive oil, ensuring an even layer all over the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese evenly over the dough, leaving about 1/2 inch of space around the edges for the crust.
Arrange the thin apple slices in an even layer over the cheese. Follow with the thinly sliced red onion scattered evenly across the pizza.
Drizzle the pizza with honey, allowing it to lightly coat the toppings.
Sprinkle the chopped fresh thyme, salt, and ground black pepper evenly over the entire pizza.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly caramelized.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Slice into pieces and serve immediately.
