Ingredients:
6 medium beets, scrubbed and cooked until tender
3 tablespoons butter
3 shallots, minced
2 apples, cored and thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
sea salt and freshly cracked pepper
1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
½ cup toasted walnuts, coarsely chopped

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place beets on a baking sheet and roast until tender when pierced with a knife, about 30-40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.

2. When the beets are cool enough to handle, slip off the skins and slice beets about ¼-inch thick.

3. In a skillet, heat the butter. Add the shallot and cook for about 2 minutes. Add the apple, sweetener, salt, and pepper, and vinegar; simmer, uncovered, for about 10 minutes, or until the apples are tender. Add the beets and cook for another 3 minutes. Sprinkle with the walnuts and serve.
