- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 lemon, cut into 2 pieces
- 1/4 packed brown sugar
Directions
- Combine first 6 ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Cover pan, reduce heat, and simmer for 45 minutes or until the fruit is tender.
- Dispose of cinnamon sticks and lemon.
- Using a spoon, press the fruit mixture through a sieve over a bowl and discard skins.
- Stir in brown sugar and serve applesauce at room temperature or chilled.
