I actually made a very similar recipe to this one, which I found on the AICR web site. The only differences are the use of Fuji apples instead of red apples, and balsamic vinegar instead of soy sauce. I'm giving this full marks based on my experience with that recipe, which pleased even my veggie-phobic DH and my parents. I may try the soy sauce alternative the next time.
