Ingredients
- 9 cups fresh apples , peeled, cored and chopped into uniform sizes
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 cups white sugar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt
Instructions
- In a large bowl, toss the apples with the lemon juice. This prevents browning. Set aside.
- In a large dutch oven or saucepan, stir together both the sugars, cornstarch cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Add 4 cups of water and bring to a low simmer.
- Add the apples and return to a low simmer. Cover and cook for 6-10 minutes. If you cut your apples into bite-sized pieces, it will be closer to 6 minutes, but larger slices will be 10 minutes. Apples should easily pierce with a fork and sauce will have reduced and thickened.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Use after cooling, can or freeze.
