¼ tsp fine sea salt
Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.
3 medium apples (about 1 ¼ lb), peeled, cored, and cut into ½-inch pieces
1 tbsp pure maple syrup
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
3 sprigs fresh thyme
2 tbsp water

Instructions

1
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat until foamy. Add the onion and salt, stirring to coat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent with golden edges, about 10–12 minutes.
2
Add the apple pieces, maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, thyme sprigs, and water. Stir to combine, then cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring every few minutes, until the apples are completely tender and beginning to break down, about 12–15 minutes.
