Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apple
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 medium Bell peppers (red, yellow, or green)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional, for a sweet twist)
Instructions
Wash the apples, onion, and bell peppers thoroughly.
Core and slice the apples into thin wedges, leaving the skin on for added texture and flavor.
Peel and slice the onion into thin, even strips.
Deseed the bell peppers and slice them into thin strips of similar size to the onions.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter.
Once the butter is melted and the oil is shimmering, add the onion slices to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and become translucent.
Add the bell peppers to the skillet and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.
Add the apple slices and sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and cinnamon (if using). Stir to combine and cook for another 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender but not mushy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or over a bed of rice or grains for a complete meal.
