Ingredients

1/2 case organic tart apples

juice of 2 lemons

1 cup maple syrup

2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

Preparation

Cut apples into quarters and fill a very large enamel or stainless steel pot. Squeeze lemon juice over top and add about two cups of water to the pot. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, for several hours until tender. Push down with a potato masher occasionally and check that the apples are not burning. Allow to cool and pass in batches through a food mill. Stir in syrup and spices. Store in refrigerator or freezer. Serve with whipped cream and toasted crispy almond slivers.
