I haven't used the Apple Wedger for Bloomin' Onions, but I have used it to cut onion wedges for roasts and stir fries. I also use it to wedge potatoes for roasting. Just toss the potatoes with a bit of oil and seasoning (salt & pepper, onion soup, or any of our seasoning mixes), and roast at 350F for about 25 minutes. Yum!
