Ingredients

  • 7 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/3 cup packed dark brown sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 3 slices lemon peel (cut with a vegetable peeler or paring knife)
  • 2 cinnamon sticks (3 inch)

Steps

  • 1
    In 6-quart stockpot or Dutch oven, place all ingredients. Heat to boiling, stirring occasionally. Reduce heat to low; cook uncovered 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender.

    Remove from heat; discard lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. Let apple mixture cool slightly, about 10 minutes; puree in a food processor, blender, or mash with a potato masher. Serve warm or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
