Truth be told, apples can be tricky to cook. Too often, they end up mushy and bland. Experience has taught us that there are two routes to well-cooked apples. Either do them up low and slow until they are chewy and packed with flavor, or barely cook them at all, so they remain dense and refreshing. This recipe is all about that second approach. Dressed simply in butter, <a href="/activities/medieval-sweet-spice-an-aromatic-blend-for-pork-dishes">Medieval Sweet Spice</a>, and currants, our Roasted Apples are a festive and simple side dish fit for any feast. But for maximum deliciousness, we suggest you place them beneath the spit when roasting a <a href="/activities/tender-crispy-skinned-whole-suckling-pig">whole pig</a> or turkey over a blazing fire. The rich juices will mingle with the aromatic apples, creating an epic eating experience. Yup, these are epically delicious and easy. How you like them apples?
