CELERY ROOT AND APPLE PUREE
Steps:
- Melt the butter over medium heat in a shallow pot or large saute pan. Add the fennel, celery root, potatoes, apples, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Saute the vegetables, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 4 to 5 minutes. Add the cider and tightly cover the pot. Simmer over low heat (I pull the pot halfway off the heat) for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft. If the vegetables begin to burn or they seem dry, add another few tablespoons of apple cider or some water.
- When the vegetables are cooked, add the cream and cook for 1 more minute. Transfer the mixture to a food mill fitted with the coarsest blade and process. (You can also use a food processor but the texture will be smoother than with the food mill.) Taste for salt and pepper and return to the pot to keep warm. Serve warm.

APPLE ROASTED PORK WITH CHERRY BALSAMIC GLAZE
I added roasted apples, cherries and onions to turn ordinary pork into an impressive dish. There is a short time span between caramelized onions and burned ones, so pay close attention once they start cooking. -Josh Downey, McHenry, Illinois

Tips:
- For the best results, use a good quality balsamic vinegar. A cheap vinegar will not have the same flavor and will not reduce properly.
- If you don't have any balsamic vinegar, you can substitute red wine vinegar. However, the flavor will be slightly different.
- Be sure to cook the pork chops over medium heat. If you cook them over high heat, they will dry out and become tough.
- The apples should be peeled and cored before they are added to the skillet. You can cut them into wedges or slices, depending on your preference.
- The apple puree can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This makes it a great option for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
Conclusion:
This pork with balsamic vinegar, crunchy apples, and apple puree is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The pork chops are tender and juicy, the apples are sweet and crunchy, and the apple puree is a creamy and flavorful accompaniment. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
