There’s a pleasure in having a seemingly off-the-wall idea
turn into a delicious dish.
Case in point: tartly sweet McIntosh apple slices
browned in butter with fresh thyme leaves and pepper,
stirred into Yukon Gold potatoes mashed with chicken stock.
❦❦❦
How’s this for a recipe?
3 cooked potatoes mashed with 1 cup chicken broth, a pinch of salt & some pepper
1 apple sautéed with 1 tbsp butter until browned & soft,
several sprigs of thyme leaves & a few grindings of pepper
Stir the apples into the potatoes

These were the perfect accompaniment to my
Roasted Pork Loin with Caramelized Apple Stuffing & Apple Butter Glaze.
DISCLOSURE: The Ontario Apple Growers provided me with a box of Ambrosia apples from Martin’s Family Fruit Farm in Waterloo, to cook with, photograph and post about on my blog. I have received no compensation for this. All opinions are my own and my love for apples is genuine.
I’ll be publishing a series of posts featuring Ambrosia and other apples. All the links will be available here.
