Melt the butter in a large pan and cook the onions for 3-4 mins, then add the garlic.
Pour the cider over and sprinkle in the sage, then bring to the boil. Turn the heat down to a simmer and cook until reduced by half.
Add the mussels, cover and cook over a medium heat (shaking the pan occasionally) for 3-4 mins until they have opened. Lift the mussels into a bowl and keep warm.
Bubble the cooking liquid in the pan for 2 mins, then carefully blend in the crme frache.
Heat through and pour over the mussels to serve.
