Peel and chop apples into small wedges. The smaller the pieces are, the faster they will cook down,

Place all ingredients on the stove in a large pot. It’s Ok if it is filled to the top- this will cook down by about half.

Bring the liquids to a boil, then turn the heat down to medium-low and allow them to simmer for at least 30 minutes.

Once the apples have become mushy and easily mashed, you can then choose your consistency. I like a smooth sauce, so I put about 2 cups at a time in a blender and blend until smooth. My husband likes it a little chunky, so I blend about 2/3 and mash the rest with a potato masher, and mix together.
