Time 20m

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 medium Gala apples, peeled and sliced, divided
2 tablespoons maple syrup
3/4 cup apple cider
1 pinch kosher salt

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: For this recipe, it's best to use a firm apple that holds its shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Cut the apples and leeks evenly: This will ensure that they cook evenly. Cut the apples into 1/2-inch thick slices and the leeks into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the apples and leeks will steam instead of sautéing. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Cook the apples and leeks until they are tender: The apples should be tender but still hold their shape, and the leeks should be soft and caramelized.
  • Season the apples and leeks with salt and pepper: This will enhance their flavor.
  • Add a splash of lemon juice: This will brighten the flavor of the apples and leeks.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or parsley, will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Conclusion:

Sautéed gala apples and leeks are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples. The sweet and tart flavor of the apples pairs perfectly with the savory flavor of the leeks, and the dish is finished with a splash of lemon juice for a bright and refreshing finish.
