Ingredients:
About 1.5 kg apples (I used a mix of granny smiths and some reds)
Juice of 1 lemon
Peel of 1 lemon (large strips)
1 cinnamon stick (abt 2 - 3 inches long)
1/4 cup brown sugar (you can reduce this if you want it more tart)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp salt

Preparation:
Remove core from apples, peel and cut them into wedges.
Plonk all ingredients into a large, deep pot. Bring to a boil, lower heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 - 30 mins.
Remove pot from heat. Discard cinnamon and peels.
Mash with a potato masher or cool a little and puree in a food processor.
Serve hot or cold. Good with pork dishes or with vanilla ice cream. Or blend it together with your favorite smoothie.
Keeps well in freezer.
