RECIPE NOTES
In this recipe I'm using Honeycrisp apples because that's what I had on hand, and I needed to use them up. You can also use Granny Smith apples or a mix of varieties.
When chopping apples and shallots, consistency in size is the key. They will cook more evenly and have a prettier presentation when serving.
If you prefer sweet over spicy, omit the pepper flakes and cayenne pepper.
