Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (600g) peeled, cored, and diced apples
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 1 tsp (2g) ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp (1.5g) ground ginger
  • 1 tbsp (15ml) fresh lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Peel the apples, remove the cores, and dice them into uniform 1/2-inch (1.2cm) cubes.
  2. Place the diced apples, water, cinnamon, and ginger into a medium saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a simmer and cover with a lid. Cook for 10–12 minutes, or until the apples are fork-tender.
  4. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the fresh lemon juice.
  5. For a rustic, chunky style, use a potato masher to crush the fruit. For a velvety consistency, use an immersion blender or a food processor and pulse until smooth.
