Ingredients for Apple Onion Sauce For Pork

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 pounds apples, peeled and sliced
  • 1 large onion, thinly sliced
  • Dark Brown Sugar
  • Sherry Wine
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Apple Onion Sauce For Pork

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. Add 2 pounds peeled and sliced apples and 1 large onion, thinly sliced. Cook until softened and glossy, about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  4. Reduce heat to very low, cover, and cook for 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until apples are almost tender.
  5. Stir in 2 tablespoons dry sherry (optional).
  6. Continue cooking, uncovered, until the mixture is very soft and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5-10 minutes more.
  7. Carefully transfer the mixture to a food processor. Pulse on and off until the sauce is smooth but not completely pureed. Avoid over-processing.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Add a teaspoon or two of Dijon mustard for extra zing (optional).
  9. Serve warm over your favorite pork dish.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
