How to Make Stewed Apples And So Much More

Peel, core, and slice 6 medium apples (about 3 pounds total).
In a large saucepan, combine the sliced apples with 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup apple cider, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the sauce has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before using. The stewed apples will thicken further as they cool.
Serve warm over ice cream, cheesecake, or pound cake. Alternatively, use as a filling for phyllo cups or puff pastry according to the package instructions.
