Ingredients

• 4 cups apples peeled, cored, and diced
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• 3 cups water
• 1 1/3 cups granulated sugar
• 1/3 cup cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions

1. Place apples in a large bowl and toss with lemon juice.
2. Place water, sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg in a medium saucepan. Stir to combine then bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring often. Once the mixture boils, boil it for two minutes. Add the apples, turn to a simmer, and cover. Cook, stirring often, until the apples soften, about 5-8 minutes.
3. Pour into jars to cool to room temperature then cover and refrigerate. The mixture will thicken more as it cools.
