Instructions

  • Cut the apples and turnips into wedges about 1/2 inch (1 cm) wide.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turnips and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden but not yet tender, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the apples, salt and pepper to taste, and vinegar, and gently stir the apples and turnips to coat them.
  • Continue to cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the apples and turnips are on the soft side of crisp tender, about 5 minutes. Season again with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.
