Instructions: Heat oven to 375 degrees.

In a 12- by 14-inch roasting pan or an 11- by 17-inch baking pan, combine the brandy, cinnamon, cloves, lemon juice and zest, brown sugar, and butter. Add all the apples, and toss. Roast until the apples are very soft and golden brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer apples to the bowl of a food processor; pulse until smooth. Stir in the salt. Serve warm.

Makes 2 cups.
