20 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
1 1⁄2 cups apple cider (or good apple juice without sugar)
1⁄2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1⁄2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1. Place the apples in a large saucepan and pour in the cider. Simmer, uncovered, over medium high heat for 40 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes or so to prevent sticking.
2. Stir in the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and continue to cook, stirring to break down the apples until it is a chunky sauce.
