Cider Glazed Apples Recipes

CIDER-GLAZED CHICKEN WINGS WITH APPLE SALAD

Steps:

• Brush 2 baking sheets with olive oil, place in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450˚. Toss the wings in a large bowl with the paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Divide the wings between the hot baking sheets; use tongs to space them out as much as possible. Roast, switching the pans halfway through, until the wings are crisp and golden, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine the cider, 1/3 cup vinegar and the Worcestershire sauce in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over high heat, then lower the heat to medium and cook until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 12 minutes. Whisk in the butter.
• Once the wings are done, combine all the wings on one baking sheet and turn on the broiler. Brush the wings with about one-quarter of the cider sauce and broil until glazed, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and broil 1 more minute. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the remaining cider sauce.
• Toss the apples, celery and leaves, half of the scallions, the olive oil and the remaining 2 teaspoons vinegar in a bowl; season with salt and pepper. Divide the salad and wings among plates; top with the remaining scallions.

APPLE-MAPLE GLAZE

Steps:

• Boil 2 cups apple cider in a saucepan over medium-high heat until reduced to 1/2 cup, 8 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to low; add 1/2 cup each apple jelly and maple syrup, 1/4 cup whole-grain mustard, 1/2 teaspoon allspice and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg.

CIDER-GLAZED APPLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees with rack in center. Core the apples. Using a vegetable peeler, remove half an inch of skin around the top of each apple; reserve peelings. Brush lemon juice inside and around top of each apple to prevent browning. Arrange apples in a 9 by 12 3/4 by 2 1/2-inch roasting pan. Mince the lemon zest, and divide evenly among the apple cavities. Cut the vanilla bean crosswise into six even pieces. Split one small piece lengthwise; scrape out the seeds, and place seeds and split bean into an apple. Repeat for each apple. Divide the cinnamon and brown sugar evenly among the apples. Pour the cider into the pan, and arrange the reserved peelings around the apples.
• Cook 20 minutes. Remove peelings, and set aside. Baste apples, and continue cooking 15 to 20 minutes more. Insert a knife into base of one apple to see if still firm. (If soft when pierced, transfer apples to a platter, and proceed to step 3.) Baste apples again. If the cider has almost evaporated, add enough fresh cider to cover the bottom of the pan. Continue to cook apples until soft when pierced with a knife, 10 to 20 minutes more. Transfer to a serving platter.
• Place pan with remaining cider over high heat on stovetop. Cook until the liquid is reduced to a syrupy glaze, 4 to 6 minutes. Garnish each apple with glaze and the reserved peelings, and serve.

HOMEMADE APPLE CIDER

Steps:

• Place apples in a large stockpot and add enough water cover by at least 2 inches. Stir in sugar, cinnamon, and allspice. Bring to a boil. Boil, uncovered, for 1 hour. Cover pot, reduce heat, and simmer for 2 hours.
• Strain apple mixture though a fine mesh sieve. Discard solids. Drain cider again though a cheesecloth lined sieve. Refrigerate until cold.

GLAZED APPLE CIDER CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a fluted tube pan (such as Bundt®) with cooking spray.
• Combine cake mix, 1 cup apple cider, eggs, butter, and vanilla pudding mix in a large bowl; mix until smooth. Pour batter into the tube pan.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 40 minutes.
• Stir confectioners' sugar and 3/4 cup apple cider together in a small bowl to make the glaze.
• Pour glaze over the cake and let soak into the cake and down the sides of the pan, about 30 minutes. Invert onto a plate and cool completely, about 30 minutes.

APPLE CIDER GLAZE

• Note: Enough for a large turkey (approx 22 pounds).
• Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat and simmer for 35-40 minutes or until mixture is reduce by approx half.
• Strain through a sieve and reserve.
• During the last 30 minutes of cooking poultry, brush the skin liberally with the glaze; reapply every 10 minutes or so until meat finishes cooking.

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLE CIDER GLAZE

Steps:

• Season pork chops with salt and black pepper.
• Heat oil and butter in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Cook pork chops in the hot oil mixture until browned on both sides and pork is slightly pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Remove pan from the heat; transfer pork chops to a plate.
• Stir garlic into the pan and place over medium-high heat; cook and stir for 30 seconds. Pour in vinegar and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add apple cider and Dijon mustard, bring mixture to a boil, and cook until sauce is reduced and thick, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in rosemary and red pepper flakes; season with salt and black pepper to taste.
• Return pork chops to the pan to warm slightly, 1 to 2 minutes per side.
