I see you've gotten many ideas. Some just to mask the sweetness though,
not eliminate it.

Here's my thoughts: Just another to consider.

Ferment your apple cider in advance or just buy hard cider.
The fermenting turns the sugar into alcohol and most of that alcohol
will "burn off" during the cooking.

This also makes me think of that somewhat new beer..Angry Orchard beer.
Sounds to be beer made from fermented apples. Maybe a bottle or two of
that might be a good braising liquid.

I've never tried that beer but it sounds interesting. (good
advertising). Has anyone here every tried it?
