1 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup peeled and finely chopped apple
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup brandy
1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup butter, softened

Instructions 

Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large skillet. Add chicken livers; cook, stirring occasionally for 3 minutes.

Add onion, apple, salt, thyme, and pepper. Cook and stir over medium heat about 5 minutes or until apple is soft. Stir in brandy and cream.

Spoon mixture into food processor or blender. Process 2 to 3 minutes or until smooth. Remove container, cover and put in refrigerator for 1-1/2 hours, or until mixture is completely cooled.

When mixture is completely cooled, beat 1/2 cup softened butter in medium bowl until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in liver mixture, blending until smooth.
