I love to mix things together that you don't usually think to mix together ... and a lot of the things I create are purely based on what I'm craving at the time. I take a look at what it is that I'm wanting ... then look through the refrigerator, the pantry, the bowls of fruits and veggies on the counter and think of what it is that I want to create next.
This began as a faded thought ... I love the smell of onions and garlic being sauteed together ... one of my most favorite kitchen smells actually. But hmm ... what else can be added to onions in that pan to give me a great flavor? And then it hit me ... apples. Now, the dish was originally intended to be something that would accompany some sliced potatoes that I enjoy making, but when I opened the pantry and pulled out my potatoes, I realized that the two I had left - the two I had counted on - were very sad and pathetic and in much need of a burial. All the same, the dish turned out wonderfully.
I cut the onion in half, then thinly sliced the halves. I then cut the apple in half, removed the core and cut its two halves into thin slices as well. Very simple. I then placed my pan over medium heat and added 2 teaspoons olive oil and 2 teaspoons butter. I placed the onions and cooked them for about 3 minutes before adding the apple slices to the pan, cooked until they were tender and added a little salt and a lot of pepper. They were delicious.
