Serves 8
6 apples (Cortlands, Granny Smiths, or Macs)
water
1/4 cup sugar (or less)
lemon juice to taste (optional)
Quarter the apples and place in pot with water almost to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to simmer, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes. Put through food mill. Add sugar and lemon juice to taste, if needed. Simmer about 3 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Makes about 4 cups.
