Equipment

  • large dutch oven or heavy bottomed pot
  • High speed blender

Ingredients
  

  • 3 pounds Honeycrisp apples or sweet tart apples
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • cups water
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions
 

  • Core and chop the apples into small chunks. You don’t need to peel them! The peels are good for you and you won’t notice them once it's blended.
  • Place the apples, brown sugar, lemon juice, and water in a large dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat.
  • Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cook the apples, stirring occasionally, until they’re very soft and falling apart, about 15 to 20 minutes. 
  • Transfer the mixture to a high-speed blender with the ground cinnamon and kosher salt. Blend until smooth. Pour into a bowl and serve warm.
