(One of my Own) Orange Corned Beef with Cooked Apples in Maple Syrup


I had this corned beef in my freezer for quite some time. I figured I could make it anytime I wanted, but I preferred as soon as possible. Corned beef is probably my favorite beef product. “Sad”...maybe? Since it wasn't St. Patrick's Day, I thought I would hunt for a different way to prepare it. I found a recipe that called for the meat to be completely covered with oranges and onions. I wrapped the entire thing, oranges and all, in tin foil and cooked it at 350' for 4 hours. The only thing I didn't add as was called for in the recipe was pickling fluid (vinegar, I guess?) Still, it tasted so good and the oranges were perfect for such a dish.
I hastily searched for a quick recipe with apples. I had bought a bunch of delicious reds which were originally meant to go in with a cabbage. Since I forgot the cabbage, I found a desert recipe for apples.
I basically cooked them on the stove top for ten minutes with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, a small pinch of salt, and cinnamon. They seemed to be the perfect Yule tide desert. They also went well with the corned beef. They weren't too heavy. In fact, I probably make some this evening! Merry Christmas!
