Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized (about 1.5 lbs total) turnips
- 2 medium-sized (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji) apples
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 tablespoon (chopped, optional for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Peel the turnips and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes. Core the apples and cut them into 1/2-inch cubes as well. Leave the skin on the apples for added texture and color.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted and slightly foamy.
Add the cubed turnips to the pan and sauté for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and develop a golden-brown color.
Add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan along with the cubed apples. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the apples to soften slightly.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the turnips and apples, then sprinkle with ground cinnamon, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly coat the mixture.
Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Let the mixture cook for another 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the turnips are tender and the apples are caramelized.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove from heat and transfer to a serving dish.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
