Instructions
- Combine apples and cider in large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil over medium heat; turn heat to low, and simmer until apples are tender (about 20 minutes).

Recipe Notes
NOTE: If using a food mill, remove apples after cooking in cider; put through food mill, using coarse screen; return to pan to cook for additional 1 minute.
Tip: To save time, use a pressure cooker!
Just bring apples, cider & 1 tsp butter up to high pressure. Turn off heat, let sit 10 min., then express remaining pressure. Remove lid and add lemon juice, sugar, salt and simmer 1 minute. Add nutmeg and mash.
