Author Notes
I only make this recipe during the fall when I can get really fresh kale and a variety of apples. I love using stir fry with western ingredients and wanted to do something different with kale. Use apples that hold their shape (such as Jonathans or Jonamacs) for the best results. This is a quick and easy dish that can be prepared using traditional stir fry techniques (as described) or as a sauteed dish in a cast iron pan (also very good in a different way). I did not grow up eating a lot of salt so I season to taste and my taste might be lower than that for other people. —EL
