Golden Applesauce

No pic for this one. : (

I love apple desserts. So because this is so easy, I enjoy making it to eat on it for a few days as a dessert for lunch. It's really easy and very tasty. I got it from an episode of Rachael Ray's 30 Minute Meals.

Notes:
  • I haven't been able to find the golden raisins and it tastes fine without.
  • I also smash the sauce right at the end with a spoon just to make it more like a puree than a chunky sauce.
Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients:
  • 4 golden delicious apples, peeled and chopped
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 oz. golden raisins, a handful (I haven't been able to find any and it is still tasty w/o)
  • 1 inch piece fresh ginger root
  • 3 Tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 2 cups all natural apple juice or cider 
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Directions:

 Combine all ingredients in a medium pot placed over medium high heat and cook until chunky sauce forms, 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. If sauce begins to spatter as it bubbles, reduce heat back a little, but it shoul be allowed to reduce and form quickly. Once apples are soft and sauce forms, remove it from the heat.
