You might want to make a double batch of this rich apple gravy. Yep, it's sensational with beef, but you've gotta try it on mashed potatoes, chops and roasted veggies, too. —Kathryn Conrad, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Ingredients

1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons butter, divided
1 large apple (Jonagold or Honeycrisp), peeled and chopped
1/4 cup apple brandy
1 cup beef broth
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper, optional

Directions

In a small saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add apple; saute until dark brown, adding 1 teaspoon butter to prevent scorching. Remove from heat; add brandy. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan.
Add broth and salt. Reduce heat; simmer 15 minutes. Using a blender or an immersion blender, puree apple mixture. Return to saucepan; simmer until liquid is reduced to 1 cup. Remove from heat. Whisk in remaining butter. If desired, add pepper.

Test Kitchen tip

If a thicker gravy is desired after it's reduced, whisk 2 teaspoons cornstarch into 1 tablespoon cold water. Add to apple mixture; bring to a boil, whisking until thickened, about 1 minute. Whisk in remaining butter and, if desired, pepper.
