Ingredients
- 14 pounds apples sweet, tart, combination
- Ascorbic acid
- 8 tablespoons sugar or more to taste
- 4 teaspoons cinnamon to taste (optional)
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and core apples. Slice into water containing ascorbic acid to prevent browning. Drain.
- Place drained apple slices in a large Dutch oven or stockpot. Add 1-2 cups of water and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Simmer until tender (5 to 20 minutes, depending on maturity and variety).
- Press apple slices through a sieve or food mill or skip the pressing step if you prefer chunk-style sauce.
- Add sugar and cinnamon if desired. Transfer back to the dutch oven and reheat to boiling.
- Ladle into 1-quart jars leaving ½ inch of headspace.
- Cap and seal. Place in the pressure cooker with 4 to 5 inches of hot water.
- Process at HIGH pressure for 10 minutes. Once done, allow pressure to come down naturally before opening the cooker.
