Forget the ancient reputation as the harbinger of temptation and evil. Forgo the legal bribery of handing your teacher a polished one. And brush aside thoughts of omnipresent technology companies: This apple is only one thing and that's delicious. It's delicious with green beans and red onion and those are delicious when paired with this chicken with garlic-thyme sauce, both herbaceous and creamy. When they ask "how about them apples?" you'll only be thinking of this sublime meal. Tip: Here's a super-easy way to remove thyme leaves from stem. Just pinch the top and run your fingers down the stem. Presto! The leaves should just fall off.
