An apple cider reduction and two kinds of apples create layers of flavor in this buttery glazed fruit that is equally good served over waffles, pancakes, or ice cream. Ingredients:
1 cup apple cider |
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1 tablespoon brown sugar |
3 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced |
3 braeburn apples, unpeeled, if desired, cored, and sliced |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
2 cups fresh cranberries |
Directions:
1. Pour apple cider into a medium skillet. Cook over medium-high heat 14 minutes or until syrupy. Remove from heat, and stir in 2 Tbsp. butter and cinnamon. Set aside.
2. Melt remaining 1/4 cup butter in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in brown sugar. Add apple slices, tossing to coat. Sprinkle apples with granulated sugar, and cook, stirring often, 8 minutes or until apples are mostly tender. Transfer apples to a serving bowl using a slotted spoon.
3. Add cranberries to buttery drippings in skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes or until cranberries begin to pop. Stir in apple cider reduction, and cook 1 minute. Pour cranberry mixture over apples in serving bowl, and fold in gently. Serve warm.
4. Make Ahead: You can prepare Cider-Glazed Christmas Fruit up to 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate; reheat in microwave until warm.
