How to Make Caramelized Cardamom Apples With Pistachio Cream

  1. In a chilled bowl, lightly whip 1 cup heavy cream until it just holds its shape, avoiding over-whipping.
  2. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped pistachios. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons butter over low heat in a large nonstick skillet.
  4. Remove the skillet from the heat.
  5. Peel, core, and thinly slice 2 medium apples (about 1 pound). Immediately add the apple slices to the melted butter as you cut them, gently folding them in to prevent discoloration.
  6. Add 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, 1/4 cup slivered almonds, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts.
  7. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently.
  8. Increase the heat to high.
  9. Cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are lightly caramelized and tender.
  10. Serve warm on individual plates. Top with a dollop of the pistachio cream, allowing some to partially cover the apples and some to remain separate.
  11. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup chopped pistachios over the cream.
