From the kitchen of Joan Knewasser

Fill a 6 quart dutch oven with:

cored Cortland apples, cut into fat slices, skin on

Add:

1 c water

Use a wood spoon to stir & mash apples.

Simmer mixture.

Frequently scrape sides down with a spatula to prevent sticking.

Cover when not stirring.

When it reaches your desired consistency, put through a cone strainer to remove skins.

Add sugar to taste.

Also good without sugar.
