Savor the flavors of fall with this irresistible 15-minute Fall Apple Cider Stew Mash. Warm, comforting, and perfect for chilly nights, this creamy, velvety mash combines tender apples, fragrant herbs, and the rich, cozy taste of apple cider.
Ingredients
– 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
– 1 onion, diced
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 sprigs fresh thyme
– 2 cups apple cider
– 1 cup chicken or vegetable broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. – In a large pot, sauté the onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil until softened, about 5 minutes.
2. – Add the chopped apples, thyme, apple cider, and broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the apples are very soft.
3. – Remove the thyme sprigs. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the apple mixture until it reaches a creamy, mashed potato-like consistency.
4. – Stir in the heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. – Serve hot, garnished with extra thyme, toasted breadcrumbs, or a drizzle of apple cider.
Notes
– For a thicker consistency, mash the apples more vigorously or let the stew simmer for a few extra minutes.
– Experiment with different apple varieties to find your perfect flavor profile.
– This stew can be made in advance and reheated when ready to serve.
