This tastes like the absolute best apple pie you ever drank! Here is how I preserve the goodness of apples laced with sweet spices.

After the first of the crisp fall apples have started to soften, I love to have a sip of this for dessert on a cold winter’s night. You won’t waste anything here — all the apples eventually find their way into more delicious desserts.

Buy the tastiest fall apples you can find, but if they’re fresh, even windfalls and “seconds” are fine, because you can cut around any damaged spots. What really matters is the flavor. A mix is good: Fuji, Gala, Red Delicious and Honey Crisp, if you can afford them. If you are so fortunate to have apples from the Northeast, these have more flavor than what we can grow here in Texas.

Scout out some big jars. I noticed the half-gallon jars available this summer. If you can’t find or beg gallon jars, you can order them from ULINE. It’s an investment, but you’ll have them forever.
