2. Cooked Onions and Apples
Serving: Makes 4
Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
3 c peeled and sliced onions
3 T olive oil or butter
3 c peeled, cored, and sliced firm
apples, such as Granny Smiths
Pinch ground allspice, mace, or
cinnamon (1/8 teaspoon)
Sugar, if needed, to taste
Salt and freshly ground black
pepper to taste
Minced fresh parsley leaves for

Directions:
1. Place the onions in a large,
deep skillet over medium heat
and cover. Cook for 10 minutes,
stirring once or twice, until they
are dry and almost sticking to
the pan. Stir in the fat.
2. Add the apples and spice. Turn
the heat to low, cover, and cook,
stirring occasionally, until the
apples begin to soften, about 10
minutes.
3. Uncover and taste; add sugar if
the apples have not contributed
enough sweetness. Season with
salt and pepper, turn the heat to
medium, and cook until the
apples are completely tender but
not mushy, a few minutes more.
Garnish and serve.
