In a large pot, bring apples, lemon juice, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil over high. Reduce heat and simmer until apples are very soft and falling apart, 25 to 30 minutes. Mash with a potato masher or pulse in a food processor until smooth with small chunks remaining. (Add sugar, if using.) Let cool, then transfer applesauce to airtight containers.
1 whole chicken (3 1/2 pounds), cut into 8 pieces and breasts halved crosswise
2 fennel bulbs, fronds removed, bulbs cut into 1-inch wedges
4 shallots, halved lengthwise
1/2 cup fresh sage leaves
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper
2 apples, cored and quartered
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds.
On two rimmed baking sheets, arrange chicken, fennel, shallots, and sage. In a small bowl, whisk together oil and vinegar and drizzle over chicken and vegetables. Toss to combine and season with salt and pepper.
Add apples to sheets and roast until fennel is browned and chicken is cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes more.

1/2 pound frozen blanched cut green beans, defrosted
1 pound eggplants, ends trimmed, cut on the diagonal into 3/4-inch slices or roll cut
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 cup basil leaves, torn
2/3 cup chicken stock
4 1/2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1/4 cup dark soy
2 tablespoons black vinegar
2 tablespoons chili garlic sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3/4 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 teaspoon water
DIRECTIONS
Combine the pork with the soy sauce and allow to stand while you prepare the green beans and eggplant. Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat and, when hot, add 1/4 cup of the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, add the green beans (careful – this will splatter!) and stir-fry until the green beans are slightly wrinkled, 5 to 6 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the green beans and transfer to paper-lined plate to drain. Add the remaining oil to the pan and add the eggplants and cook, stirring occasionally, until eggplants are lightly browned on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the eggplant to a shallow bowl and set aside. Add the garlic and basil to the skillet and cook for 10 to 15 seconds. Add the pork and cook, stirring, until it changes color, 1 to 2 minutes. Return the eggplants to the skillet and add the chicken stock, hoisin, dark soy, black vinegar, chili garlic sauce and sesame oil and stir to mix well. Reduce the heat to medium, cover, and cook until the eggplants are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Return the green beans to the pan along with the cornstarch mixture and bring mixture up to a boil. When the sauce has thickened, serve immediately.
