Baked Apple Caprese with Blueberry Balsamic Glaze

Baked Apple Caprese with Blueberry Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients for the glaze:

2 tablespoons butter, divided

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup minced shallots

2 teaspoons minced garlic

2 tablespoons Stella's Table Herb, Essential Blend

2 tablespoons Stella's Table Lemon Honey Jelly

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar

1/4 teaspoon Stella's Table Sea Salt, Essential Blend

1/2 teaspoon Stella's Table Pepper, Essential Blend

2 cups fresh blueberries

Instructions:

In a large sauté pan over medium heat, melt one tablespoon of butter with the olive oil. Add the shallots, garlic, and the Stella's Table Herb Blend. Cook for 2 minutes. 

Add the Lemon Honey Jelly, sea salt, and pepper to the mixture. Stir and then add the fresh blueberries. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes. The blueberries should begin to soften and the sauce will start to reduce. 

Add the remaining butter and cook for another 3 minutes. 

Remove the sauce from heat and let cool. 

Use with our Apple Blueberry Balsamic Caprese or over chicken or pork. 

Ingredients for the Basked Apple Caprese:

4 medium sized green apples (we used Gravensteins)

Vanilla extract

4 ounces sliced mozzarella

Fresh basil leaves, about 15 total. 

Pinch of Stella's Table Pepper, Essential Blend

Instructions:

Peel and core the apples. Cut into 1/2" rings. 

Place parchment paper onto a cooking sheet and spray with cooking oil. 

Place the apples onto the sheet pan and brush the apples with the vanilla extract. 

Bake at 375-degrees for 10 minutes. 

Once the apples are cooked, place on a serving platter.  

Top with mozzarella cheese and drizzle with glaze. 

Add chopped basil and pepper.

Enjoy!
