Ingredients

  • 6 medium size Gala or Fugi apples if the apples are small, use a couple extra
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ginger ground or fresh and sliced

Instructions

  • Wash the apples then cut them into quarters.
  • Add apples, raisins, cinnamon and ginger to a medium-sized pot and fill with about 1-2 inches of water. 
  • Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Then turn down heat, keep covered and simmer for 10-15 minutes, when apple skins look shiny. (No harm in peeking, you just don't want the small amount of water to evaporate.)
  • Remove pot from heat. Use immersion blender to make into sauce, or let the mix cool before adding to a traditional blender and blending.
  • Store in a glass container in the fridge for 10-14 days.
