APPLE BUTTER MUSTARD GLAZE

Provided by Food Network

Time 25m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 tablespoons neutral oil
2 bone-in pork chops
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
3/4 cup chicken stock
1 shallot, diced
1 tablespoon stone-ground mustard
2 teaspoons apple butter

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the pork chops with salt and pepper on both sides and cook, flipping once, until nicely browned and cooked to 150 degrees F or desired doneness, 5 to 7 minutes per side. Set the chops aside and reserve the skillet.
  • Pour the chicken stock into the skillet and scrape with a wooden spoon to lift any browned bits. Add the shallots and cook, stirring occasionally, until the stock is reduced by half, about 4 minutes. Whisk in the mustard and apple butter. Turn off the heat and continue whisking until the sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 1 minute. Season as desired with freshly cracked black pepper.

GRILLED CHEESE WITH APPLES AND APPLE BUTTER



Grilled Cheese With Apples and Apple Butter image

If Cheddar on a slice of apple pie sounds good to you, you will love this twist on a grilled cheese sandwich, which marries salty and sweet elements between two caramelized pieces of buttery bread. Look for dark apple butter, with no added sugar, since it will have the richest flavor. Unlike most grilled cheese recipes, which call for building the sandwiches, cooking them on one side, then flipping, this one calls for cooking the sandwiches open-faced, then assembling them.The cheese melts more quickly and reliably if cooked this way. Depending on the size of your bread slices and your skillet, you may be able to cook two sandwiches at a time. You could also have two pans going, or just serve them as they are finished. To serve all four at once, just transfer the cooked sandwiches to a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven while you crisp up the remaining sandwiches on the stovetop.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more as needed
1 large Granny Smith apple, cored and thinly sliced
1 small shallot, halved and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
Kosher salt
1/2 cup apple butter
8 slices country bread, cut 1/2-inch thick
4 ounces sharp Cheddar, sliced 1/4-inch thick

Steps:

  • Heat a large, 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Add 1 tablespoon butter, then add apples, shallots, rosemary and a pinch of salt. Cook, tossing occasionally, until apples are golden and softened, 8 to 10 minutes, reducing the heat if shallots threaten to burn. Transfer mixture to a plate; set aside.
  • Rinse and dry the pan, and set over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons if you're cooking two sandwiches at a time). Spread one side of each bread slice with 1 tablespoon apple butter (this will be the inside of the sandwich). With the apple butter-side facing up, top four of the bread slices with 1 ounce Cheddar each; divide the apple mixture among the remaining four slices of bread. (Don't assemble the sandwiches yet: The topped slices are first cooked, then combined.)
  • Add one Cheddar-topped piece and one apple-topped piece to the pan (two of each if your pan can accommodate it), drizzle 2 teaspoons of water in the pan, and cover. Cook until cheese is melted and bread is golden and crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Reduce heat if bread is browning too fast. Sandwich the two pieces together, cut in half, and serve immediately. Repeat with remaining ingredients, adding more butter to then pan if necessary.

CHEF JOHN'S APPLE BUTTER

Move over, apple sauce. Apple butter is basically a spreadable apple pie filling, only better. Though cooking time is long, it's super easy and pretty hands-free. Pair it with some sharp Cheddar on a cheese plate, or slather it onto cheesy biscuits (see footnote). Other approved uses include spreading between the layers of a spice cake, filling seasonably appropriate thumbprint cookies, or even as a condiment for pork chops.

Time 10h15m

Yield 32

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 pounds Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground allspice
¼ cup apple cider vinegar
1 splash water

Steps:

  • Place apple pieces into a large slow cooker. Add white sugar, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and vinegar. Add a splash of water and mix well.
  • Cover and cook on High until apples are starting to soften and release liquid, 1 to 2 hours. Reduce heat to Low and cook, uncovered, until all the apple flesh is dissolved, 5 to 6 hours. Stir occasionally.
  • Puree using an immersion blender until smooth. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until darkened and thick, about 4 hours more. Pass apple butter through a strainer if desired. Seal in a glass container and refrigerate until cool.
