The Parve Baker

Maple Applesauce

¾ cup pure maple syrup
¾ cup  water
6 tart apples, peeled and sliced thinly
1 teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon allspice

Combine the maple syrup and water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 2-3 minutes. Add the apples, cinnamon, and allspice. Cook over medium high heat, stirring occasionally and then mashing, until the apples dissolve into sauce and most of the liquid is absorbed.

For a smooth applesauce, cool and then puree in a food processor.

Makes about 1 quart.
