How to Make Spiced Pomegranate Molasses Applesauce

In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, pomegranate molasses, water, lemon juice, cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-40 minutes, or until the apples are completely tender and easily mashed.
If using, stir in the sugar during the last 5 minutes of cooking and adjust to your desired sweetness.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Using a potato masher or immersion blender, mash the apples to your desired consistency. You can leave some chunks for a rustic texture.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm or cold.
