Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 lb apples, peeled, cored, cut into large chunks
1/2 c water
1 cinnamon stick (3 inches)
pinch ground cloves
few gratings of nutmeg
few grinds of black pepper
pinch kosher salt

Steps:

  • 1. Combine the apples, water, cinnamon stick, cloves, nutmeg, pepper, and salt in a medium-size, heavy, nonreactive saucepan. Cover and set over medium heat. When the water begins to bubble, reduce the heat to low and cook the apples until they begin to break down, about 30 minutes; uncover occasionally to stir and prevent sticking. Remove the cover and continue cooking until the apples are chunky but soft, about another 15 minutes. Remove the cinnamon stick.
  • 2. Put the apples through a food mill for a smooth sauce or mash them with a fork for a chunkier texture. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving hot or cold.
