Hajar's Winter Applesauce

1. 1

   Peel, core and cut apples into chunks.

   Place them into 2-4 large pots.

3. 3

   This will depend on the size of your apples.

   Add just enough water to prevent sticking.

5. 5

   I usually use 1/4 cup per pan of apples.

6. 6

   Cook apples on a medium heat until mushy.

7. 7

   Stir to help break the apples up occasionally.

8. 8

   Once the texture you desire (I never process them) continue to simmer until the juices have nearly evaporated.

9. 9

   Stir in sugar and cinnamon to taste and add lemon juice.

10. 10

    Sugar is added last to prevent scorching/burning.

11. 11

    Cool thoroughly if freezing.

12. 12

    Servings and cooking time are all estimates due to the nature of the recipe.

13. 13

    Fill plastic locking bags (I use 1 quart size) and seal.

    Press flat and freeze.

15. 15
