You might want to make a double batch of this rich apple gravy. Yep, it's sensational with beef, but you've gotta try it on mashed potatoes, chops and roasted veggies, too. —Kathryn Conrad, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter, divided
  • 1 large apple (Jonagold or Honeycrisp), peeled and chopped
  • 1/4 cup apple brandy
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper, optional

Directions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add apple; saute until dark brown, adding 1 teaspoon butter to prevent scorching. Remove from heat; add brandy. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan.
  2. Add broth and salt. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes. Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree apple mixture. Return to saucepan; simmer until liquid is reduced to 1 cup. Remove from heat. Whisk in remaining butter. If desired, add pepper.
