Cider Glazed Apples Recipes

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.

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.

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.

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.
