Chill crust.

Whisk honey, wine and reserved 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in large bowl. Add onions; toss to coat. Coat another large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Spread onion mixture in even layer on sheet. Roast 30 minutes. Turn onions over, allowing rings to separate. Roast until onions are caramelized, turning often for even browning, 30-45 minutes.

No kidding, I baked one German onion cake(Zwiebelkuchen) two days ago, with Quark cheese dough though. Well, I wish I were clever enough to think of using pastry!! The topping prepared with honey and wine sounds truly delicious.
