Ingredients
- 1 lemon
- 7 pounds apples approx. 22-24 cups (I used granny smith as it tends to hold up well in baking)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 6 cups water
Instructions
- Zest & juice the lemon and set aside.
- Peel and slice apples fairly thick (about 8 slices per apple.) Toss apple slices with lemon juice & zest, and set aside.
- In a large pot, combine both sugars, corn starch, cinnamon, salt, nutmeg, and water. Bring to a boil while whisking over medium-high heat and let boil 2 minutes until thick and bubbly. Stir in apple slices and cover.
- Reduce heat to low and let simmer 10 minutes or until apples begin to soften. They do not need to be completely cooked! Remove from heat and keep covered. Let cool about 30-40 minutes, checking periodically. Your apples should be soft but not mushy.
- Ladle equal amounts into 4-5 freezer bags. (approx 2 ½ cups into each bag.)
- Let cool on the counter and then freeze for up to one year.
Cup of Yum
