Baked Honey Mustard Chicken Thighs and Apples

This baked apple and chicken recipe uses a delicious honey Dijon sauce to enhance the sweetness of the fruit. It’s an easy gluten-free chicken thigh dinner, or something you can double for a larger holiday gathering (it’s also dairy-free and Kosher for Rosh Hashanah!). Since the recipe was inspired by a chicken dish I ate in Normandy, it uses calvados brandy and leeks. If you’re not familiar with leeks (and don’t want to be!), a small sliced onion will also work or you can omit them. Likewise, white wine is an easy substitute for the apple brandy.
