Ok so let's be honest. Is there anything more delicious than apples, sweet potatoes, cranberries and hazelnuts simmering all together in apple cider on a cool Fall Day??
No this is not a trick question.
No this is not a trick question.
The answer is there really isn't.
As you know, I'm not a coffee person at all so apple cider is one of my favorite go-to drinks in the mornings when the weather outside is super chilly. And if you have a Keurig at your office like I do then you KNOW how amazing the hot apple cider is! So when I saw this yummy saute in my Better Homes and Gardens magazine, I knew I had to try it, especially since it incorporates all my favorite things I love about Fall.
Except pumpkin of course.
But we'll get to that a little later.

Here are your ingredients:
Recipe adapted from Better Homes & Gardens

1 cup chopped apple (1 large)
2 Tbsp dried cranberries
1/4 cup pure maple syrup (or agave nectar)
1/4 tsp. salt
2 Tbsp chopped hazelnuts, toasted
In a large skillet, heat apple cider until just simmering. Add sweet potato slices, spreading evenly. Cover and cook over medium-low heat about 12 minutes or until potatoes are nearly tender.
Stir in chopped apple, cranberries, maple syrup and salt. Cook covered over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes more or until apple is just tender. Uncover and boil gently for about 4 minutes until liquid is syrupy. Sprinkle with nuts and enjoy!
I also can't wait to show you progress of my new house!
We finally have a roof y'all!
And to think canned pumpkin was the only thing that excited me this much,
now it's brick and floor boards.
Le sigh.
