Directions

Mix apple jelly and vinegar together until smooth and set aside.
Slice apples into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Add 1 tablespoon of chicken broth to apples to prevent browning.
Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
Heat olive oil in a 5-quart Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Place chicken skin side down in pot. Brown chicken for 5 minutes per side. Turn off heat, remove chicken and set aside. Drain the oil leaving 1 teaspoon in the pan.
Turn heat on to medium. Add onions and apples. Cook for 5 minutes.
Add remaining chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Place chicken on top of onion-apple mixture. Pour jelly mixture over chicken. Cook covered with lid tilted for 20 minutes or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 180°F.
