Instructions: Place apples, dried apple rings, sugar, lemon zest and juice, cider, cinnamon stick, nutmeg, cloves and ginger in the slow-cooker. Cover and cook on Low for 5 to 6 hours or on High for 3 hours until apples are very tender.

Discard cinnamon stick and use a slotted spoon to transfer apple solids to food mill or food processor. Puree and add enough cooking juices to achieve the desired consistency.

Note: If you are using a food processor to puree the fruit, core and seed the apples before cooking.

Yield: 5 cups
