Caramelized Apple and Red Onion

Caramelized Apple and Red Onion
oil
red onion, thinly sliced
apples, peeled, cored, thinly sliced
salt
pepper
nutmeg

Heat the oil in a shallow pot over medium heat and add the onion. Cook slowly, covered, stirring occasionally until onions are very soft but ensure not to let them brown. Add the apples and cook until softened but not mushy. Add in seasonings.
It seems very simple but is incredibly delicious - it makes a great condiment or side dish or pork, blue cheese toasts, toast, aged cheddar, etc. Add some honey, molasses, brown sugar, or maple syrup to make more of a "jam" or compote, and add extra spices and seasonings as desired.
