Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 4 fresh apples, peeled, cored, and cut into wedges
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
Instructions
- Place the water and apple wedges in a small saucepan, cover, and bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes, until the apples are soft and turn a light yellow color; if the pan becomes dry, add a bit more water.
- Remove the apples from the sauce pan, add cinnamon and cardamom, and then lightly mix or mash them with a potato masher.
Tips
- For a sweeter version, substitute type of apple and nutmeg for the cardamom.
- Be careful not to burn the apples. First time, ended up slightly scorching them which is why they have such a darker color in the photo.
- subbed 1tsp cardamom with 1/2 tsp cardamom and 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- also added some Truvia liquid for additional sweetness
- this only made 3 half cup servings.
