Peel and core your apples, afterwards they should weigh about 2 pounds. I used 6 medium sized apples. You can use any kind of apple or a mixed variety. Cut them into large chunks and add to food processor. Pulse until you have small chunks. You may have to do this in batches if your apples don’t all fit. Move apples to a dutch oven.
Stir in remaining ingredients to dutch oven and bring to a boil. Once it comes to a boil, turn down to low heat and cook for 2-3 hours. Stir about every 30 minutes.
Turn off heat and scoop the apple mixture into a blender. Blend on high until smooth. You can add a teaspoon or two of apple cider to thin if needed. Allow to cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge.
