Sauteed Apples With Currants And Cognac Recipes

Steps:

• Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and half of the peeled and sliced apples. Cook, stirring constantly, until the apples are wilted and slightly caramelized, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the maple syrup, apple cider, and salt. Bring to a simmer, and then reduce the heat and cook until the apples start to fall apart and the texture becomes like applesauce, 6 to 8 minutes.
• Fold in the remaining raw apple slices so you have the crisp texture combined with the cooked apples. Fold together and set aside to cool before serving. Serve with fresh ricotta and popovers.

Steps:

• For the ginger snap crumble: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the ginger snap crumbs, flour, sugar and salt. Using your fingers, work in the pieces of butter. Large clumps will form; this is what you want. Spread onto a baking sheet and bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes.
• For the sauteed apples: Meanwhile, over medium heat, melt the butter in an enameled cast-iron skillet over medium heat until golden in color, about 2 minutes. In a large bowl, combine the apples, brown sugar, ginger, lemon zest, juice and pumpkin pie spice. Toss to coat all the apples. Add the apple mix to the skillet and saute until tender, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Divide the apples and crumb topping among plates. Top with the whipped cream. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat butter over medium-high heat; saute apples 1 minute. Add water; bring to a boil. Stir in sugar and cinnamon. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until apples are tender, 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• In a large skillet or saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; add apples. Cook, stirring constantly, until apples are almost tender, about 6 to 7 minutes.
