Ingredients

12 medium apples (about 5 pounds) 

2/3 cup fresh orange juice (from 2 oranges) 

1/2 cup packed light-brown sugar 

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

Preparation

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Peel and quarter apples. Boil apples until tender, about 12 minutes.

Drain apples, and return to pot. Mash apples until chunky or smooth, depending on your preference. Stir in orange juice, sugar, and cinnamon. Sweeten with more sugar or season with more cinnamon if desired. Serve warm or cold.
