Ingredients 5 Pounds Macintosh Apples Lemons Sugar Cinnamon Nutmeg
Instructions 1. Wash and quarter apples. Do not peel or core. If you don't have a ricer/Foley mill, the apples will have to be peeled. 2. Put some of the cut apples in large glass bowl so that it is about 1/2 full. Squeeze the juice of half of a lemon over the apples and put lemon half in bowl. Add about 1" of water to bowl. Microwave until tender. The time will depend on the amount of apples and their size. 3. With a slotted spoon, remove the soft apples to a Foley mill, leaving the liquid in the bowl. Add more apples to the liquid in the bowl and repeat the microwave process. Repeat until all apples are cooked. 4. Put apples through the Foley mill. While still warm, add sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg to taste. Cool. 5. This freezes very well.

Notes This is another one of those "to taste" recipes. Be sure that the apples are cooked until they are soft enough to go through the Foley mill. If you don't have a Foley, the apples may be mashed with a potato masher but the Foley results in a very smooth sauce. The Foley is a wonderful appliance to have in the kitchen for many purposes. It makes fantastic whipped potatoes. By not peeling the apples, the sauce has a beautiful red color, not to mention that it saves time and energy. I prefer to use fresh ground nutmeg which has marvelous flavor. This sauce freezes very well- if there is any left. It is a mainstay in my house as a side dish for all holidays.
