Ingredients:
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 pounds apples, peeled, cored and cut into thick slices
- ½ cup honey, preferably sage honey
- ½ cup white wine
- Zest of 1 lemon
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Fresh sage sprigs for garnish
Directions:
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, turn the heat to high and sauté until they begin to brown on the edges, about 5 minutes. If some are getting too well done, remove them and place on a plate while the rest continue to cook, then return them to the skillet when all are done.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the honey, wine, lemon zest, lemon juice, and 1⁄2 cup water. Cover and allow to cook until the apples are tender but still firm; you don’t want them to turn into applesauce.
- Serve this in a bowl, tuck in a couple sprigs of fresh sage from your garden, and tell your guests all about sage honey.
