Mr. food's fresh applesauce

3 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
8 Granny Smith or other tart fresh apples
¾ cup Water
½ cup Sugar
¼ teaspoon Ground nutmeg (optional)
Dash ground cinnamon (optional)
1 teaspoon Grated lemon peel (optional)

Directions

======================================================= ============== ==== == Peel and core the apples; cut into thin slices and place in a large pot. Add the water and sugar. Bring to a boil then mix in the spices, if desired; reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 50 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. NOTE: Cooking time can vary, depending on the texture you like - for chunky applesauce, cook it less; for smooth applesauce, cook it more. And if your apples aren't really juicy, you may need to add a bit more water during the simmering to prevent scorchi
