Ingredients (makes about 7 quarts)
6 quarts apples sliced (use various varieties for best results)
5 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups clear gel or corn starch
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2.5 cups cold water
5 cups apple juice
3/4 cup lemon juice
1 tsp nutmeg
Directions
1. Peel, Core, and Slice, the apples. For 6 quarts you probably will need 2 to 3 dozen apples. My pots are too small to make the entire recipe so when I make it I usually half the recipe and make multiple batches if need be.
2. Dump apples in 1 gallon of boiling water. Let the water come back to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
3. Drain the apples, but keep them covered if you still need to prepare the rest of the recipe.
4. Combine sugar, clear gel and cinnamon with water and apple juice.
5. Stir on heat until the mixture is boiling. Boil for 1 minute and then stir in the apple slices.
