2 teaspoons dried thyme

2 teaspoons dried rosemary

1 pinch brown sugar, or to taste

salt and ground black pepper to taste

1 pinch paprika, or more to taste

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Combine onion, apple, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon vinegar, thyme, and rosemary in a skillet; cook and stir mixture over medium heat until onion is lightly browned and apples are softened, about 15 minutes. Sweeten with brown sugar to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
