Cinnamon Hearth Applesauce

Make

Method

1. 1

   Wash, core, and quarter the apples. Peel them for a smoother sauce, or leave the skins on for more texture.

2. 2

   Put the apples and water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower the heat.

3. 3

   Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples collapse easily under a spoon.

4. 4

   Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Cook for another 2 minutes.

5. 5

   Mash for a rustic sauce or blend carefully until smooth. Serve warm or chill before storing.
