Ingredients

• 4 medium-sized apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium-sized, finely chopped yellow onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken stock
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.5 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 sprigs fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel, core, and dice the apples into small chunks for easy cooking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.

Step 4

Add the diced apples to the pot and stir well to coat them with the butter and aromatics. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften.

Step 5

Pour in the vegetable or chicken stock and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the apples are fully tender.

Step 6

Remove the pot from heat and use an immersion blender to puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the mixture to a blender in batches and puree until velvety.

Step 7

Return the pureed soup to the pot (if using a blender) and place it back over low heat. Stir in the heavy cream, ground cinnamon, salt, and ground black pepper. Adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 8

Simmer for another 2-3 minutes to heat through but avoid boiling the cream.

Step 9

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh thyme sprigs, if desired. Serve warm.
