How to Make Rosy Cinnamon Ginger Applesauce

  1. Peel, halve, and core 4 pounds of apples (about 8 medium).
  2. Cut apples into 2-inch chunks.
  3. Place apple chunks in a 5-quart pot with 1 cup apple cider, 1 tablespoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  5. Reduce heat to low, partially cover, and simmer for 25 minutes, or until apples are very tender. Stir occasionally.
  6. Stir in 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, and a pinch of ground cloves.
  7. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the sugar dissolves completely, about 3 minutes.
  8. Discard the lemon zest.
  9. Use a potato masher to crush the applesauce to your desired consistency (chunky or smooth).
  10. Serve warm or cold. Enjoy!
