Directions

  1. Peel the apples, core them, quarter them, and slice them thickly.
  2. Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Add the apple slices and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes, turning frequently, until golden on both sides.

  7. Sauté the vegetables for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned.
  8. Stir in the chopped sage, apple cider, and vegetable stock.
  9. Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover the skillet and reduce heat to simmer gently for 12 minutes.
  10. Return the cooked apples and their juices to the pan and simmer uncovered for 3 minutes more.
  11. Carefully transfer the parsnip and apple mixture to a serving dish and keep warm.
  12. Strain the remaining cooking juices from the skillet into a small saucepan.
  13. Stir the whole-grain mustard and honey into the strained juices.
  14. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer rapidly for 5 minutes, or until slightly reduced and glossy.
  15. Pour the sauce over the vegetables in the serving dish.
  16. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper, and serve immediately.
