Traditional savory dish, great with roast pork or pork chops. Chilled with some added bacon bits, it makes a great summer BBQ salad.

Recipe Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 4 tart apples, cored and chopped
  • salt to taste

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat until the foam subsides. Cook and stir the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the apples, and cook and stir until the onion and apples are starting to brown and the apples are soft, about 10 more minutes. Sprinkle on salt to taste.

    I made this to go with pork tenderloin today and we loved the combination as a nice change of pace from my sickeningly sweet style fried apples. I'll make this again.

    Loved this! My husband is allergic to red onions so I used a Vidalia onion instead. So yummy!

    This was bitter and smelled bad when I made it as directed. Maybe I shouldn't have use granny smith apples.
