How to Make Apple Cider Green Beans

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add green beans and cook until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
  2. While the green beans are cooking, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard (if using).
  3. Pour in apple cider and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Add the cooked green beans to the saucepan and toss gently to coat with the apple cider glaze.
  5. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
