Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce

                            Fall is here and it's my favorite season. I live for - Sweaters, boots,
                            leaves, scarfs, pumpkins, warm drinks, fire places, harvesting, crisp
                            air, blankets, hot chocolate and of course apple picking. Good stuff.

                                                 Autumn the year's last, loveliest smile.

                                                        Chunky Cinnamon Applesauce

                                                         8 to 10 apples, peeled, cored and sliced
                                                         1 cup apple cider
                                                         1 lemon, juiced
                                                         1/2 cup brown sugar
                                                         1 cinnamon stick
                                                         1 teaspoon cinnamon
                                                         1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

                 1) In a large pot, combine all of the ingredients and cook for 30 minutes over
                 medium heat.

                 2) Once everything is cooked and softened, discard cinnamon stick. Take a
                 potato masher and mash until desired consistency.

                 1) I like to store mine in mason jars but anything works. This would be a
                 great gift to share and it's goes perfect with any pork dish and awesome on
                 it's own. Enjoy.
