12 little apples from a nearby orchard, rotten parts and worms cut out, medium saucepan about half full.
1 pint water
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp each nutmeg, cloves, ginger

Cover pot and simmer for an hour or more, stirring now and then, adding more water if needed so it doesn’t burn.

If it’s too liquidy, uncover and let simmer until it’s as thick as you want. Stir now and then so it doesn’t burn.

Process in Vitamix until smooth, then can it for the winter.
