Cinnamon-Ginger Applesauce

By ltrodrigu

Tip: Because the flesh of Empire apples breaks down easily, they're perfect for making this classic sauce. Their flavor is similar to McIntosh or Crispin.

Ingredients

• 4 large Empire apples, peeled and cut into 1" cubes
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 tablespoon brown sugar
• 2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon
