Savory Mushroom & Apple Skillet with White Beans and Thyme

A one-skillet wonder that blends earthy, sweet, and hearty in the most magical late-September way.

Why This Is So September:

• Apples are just starting to shine at the farmer’s market
• Mushrooms give us that earthy fall flavor
• White beans = hearty protein without needing meat
• It’s rustic, fast, and classy as heck. Serve it on your best camp plate.

Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

• 1 small yellow onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 apple (Honeycrisp or Gala), chopped
• 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or baby bella), sliced
• 1 (15 oz) can white beans (cannellini or navy), drained & rinsed
