Preheat oven to 400 °F (204 °C). Line baking sheets with silicone baking mats. Set side.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil and cook the onions (with 1 tsp. of salt) until they're golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove and set aside in a large bowl. In the same skillet, sauté mushrooms until tender, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside in the bowl with the onions.
2 tablespoon vegetable oil, 1 large onion, 4 ounce baby bella mushrooms
In the same skillet, melt the butter and add in the apples with the sugar. Cook until softened, about 10 minutes. Remove from pan and add to the large bowl with onions and mushrooms.
2 tablespoon unsalted butter, 1 1/2 granny smith apples, 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Add the cheese, chives, and thyme to the bowl and stir to combine the mixture well. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
1 1/2 ounce grated gruyere cheese, 2 tablespoon chives, 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
With a pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into 2-inch squares and place them on the lined baking sheets. Using a pastry brush, brush beaten egg on the squares.
1 pound package of frozen puff pastry, 1 egg
Using a tablespoon, place filling in the middle of each puff pastry.
Bake for 25 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through and switching the baking sheet on the top rack to the bottom and the bottom to the top, until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
Let the tarts cool a bit before serving, you don't want people to burn the roofs of their mouths!
