Ingredients:

4 cups chopped apples

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 tablespoon unsalted butter

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

1 1/4 cup water

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground cloves

3 tablespoons cornstarch

2 tablespoons water

Directions:

1. Peel and core apples. Chop into 1/2″ chunks or 1/4" slices. After each apple chopped, place it in a large bowl and drizzle the pieces with lemon juice to prevent browning.

2. Mix cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of water. Melt butter in a deep pot.

3. Add sugars, spices, water and cornstarch mix. Whisk well. Add apples and bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Stir often.

4. Lower the heat and simmer until the apples are softer and the mixture thickens. Stir often. Cool completely.

Bon Appetit!
