Steps

Cooks in 30 min

1

Wash and peel skin from apples, and dice into small chunks.
2

Place apple chunks into sauce pan, add water.
3

Add spices and sugar, and stir together. *Spice and sugar amounts are approximate and to taste.
4

Place cinnamon stick in center of apples. (If using ground cinnamon, mix in with other spices).
5

Bring to simmer, and cook on low heat, stirring occasionally, for approximately 30 minutes, or until apples soften. Your house will smell delicious!
6

When apples have softened (you want them mushy), remove cinnamon stick and drain excess liquid off. This makes excellent cider if you want to save it!
7

Mash your apples! Use a fork or potato masher if you like it chunky, or use a blender if you like it smooth. Done!
8

Apple sauce is great warm (we love ours with a dollop of whipped cream) or chilled. Delicious warm as a topping for ice cream!
