Ingredients

  • 5 pounds unpeeled Macintosh apples, quartered and cored

  • ¾ cup white sugar

  • ¾ cup water

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. Place apples in a large pot with sugar, water, and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft and lose their shape, about 25 minutes.

  3. Stir in cinnamon and nutmeg. Serve at room temperature or refrigerate and serve cold.
