  • Deglaze the pan with apple cider: Apple cider adds a bright acidity to the dish and helps to deglaze the pan, releasing all of the delicious browned bits.
  • Season to taste: Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste. You can also add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a little extra heat.
