    Total Time 1 hour 45 minutes
    Ingredients Method Notes

    Ingredients
      

    • 4 pounds assorted apples
    • 3 ½ cups water
    • 1 ½ cups cane sugar
    • 1 teaspoon apple or pumpkin pie spice

    Method
     

    1. Peel, core, and cut apples into quarters then place in a saucepan and add water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover. Gently simmer for approximately 30 minutes or until apples are soft. Stir occasionally with a wooden spoon to help the apple break down.
    2. Carefully place cooked apples in a blender and blend until very smooth, about 1 minute. Return apples to a clean saucepan and add sugar and pumpkin pie spice.
    3. Bring blended apples to a simmer and cook for 40-50 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
    4. Cool and test the consistency. It should be spreadable and stay on the end of a knife. If it doesn't, heat again and cook for 10 more minutes. Store in a clean jar in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
