Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 9 cups fresh apples (, peeled, cored and chopped into uniform sizes)
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 3 cups white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Instruction

  • In a large bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice. This prevents browning. Set aside.
  • In a large dutch oven or saucepan, stir together both the sugars, cornstarch cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a low simmer.
  • Add the apples and return to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 6-10 minutes. If you cut your apples into bite-sized pieces, it will be closer to 6 minutes, but larger slices will be 10 minutes. Apples should easily pierce with a fork and sauce will have reduced and thickened.
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool.
  • Use after cooling, can or freeze.
