Ingredients:

• 2 lbs apples
• 1 cup water

• 1 cup sugar

Directions:

1. Peel, core, and chop the apples.

4. Remove from heat and puree the apple mixture in a blender or food processor until smooth.
5. Return the puree to the saucepan and add the sugar, stirring until dissolved.
6. Cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until the apple mixture thickens and holds its shape on a spoon, about 45-60 minutes.
7. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
8. Spoon into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
