• 6 apples, peeled, cored, seeded and chopped (about 6 cups)
• 1/2 cup apple juice
• 1 tsp. cinnamon (I used 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice – blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, mace and cloves)

Cut up the prepared apple slices and the apple juice in a saucepan with a lid; add the pumpkin pie spice.  Cook, covered, over low heat, until the apples are tender and most of the liquid is absorbed; stirring occasionally. It took about 20 minutes, but the time could be more or less, depending on the type of apples you use.  Break up the apples with a fork and allow to cool.

You can put the mixture through a blender if desired.  When I cook apples this way I prefer it to be somewhat chunky.  You can serve these warm or chilled.

Comment:

Always be careful when adding cinnamon or what I used is a pumpkin pie spice as the spice can overpower the apples.  I only used 1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice instead of 1 tsp. cinnamon originally called for in this recipe.
