Caramelized Onion Tarts With Apples

This appetizer is a bit confusing for guests.  it appears it would be sweet with the apples on it but it is more savory than sweet.  I always receive complements on it.  Mom found the recipe in Real Simple magazine.

I typically have trouble finding the creme fraiche at our typical grocery store.  In fact I have a difficult time remembering where to look for it in the Lunds store by my house.  Note to self:  It is in the southwest corner of the store on the far right of the top shelf.  Note to others: Sour cream would not be as good.
