Peel and thinly slice the yellow onions into half-moons.
Mince the garlic and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the sliced onions to the skillet and stir to coat them in the butter.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the onions slowly, stirring occasionally, for about 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and caramelized.
Once the onions are caramelized, stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the honey, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and water to the skillet. Stir well to combine.
Simmer the sauce over low heat for 3-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the sauce to a serving dish.
Optional: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a topping for roasted meats, boiled potatoes, or slices of crusty bread.
