Applesauce

(Original recipe makes 4 servings)

Ingredients

4 apples - peeled, and chopped
3/4 cup water
3-4 tbsp brown sugar, or white sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp cinnamon powder, or 1 cinnamon stick
1/8 tsp cardamom powder (optional)

Directions:

In a medium pot, combine apples, sugar, water, and cinnamon. Cover, and bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat, and cook for 20 minutes, or until completely cooked. 

In the end, add lemon juice, and cardamom powder. Turn off the heat.

Use a potato masher, and mash them completely.
After you are done, you are going to have a chunky, and delicious applesauce. 

My Notes:

• I used just three tablespoons of brown sugar. If you like to have a sweeter applesauce, add more sugar (I am not a big fan of sugar).
• I used four Golden Delicious apples; you can also use other types of apples.
• If you like to have a smoother applesauce, use a blender to smooth it completely.
• We usually eat it as a snack. Many other people use it as a side dish.
• It also makes a good combination with ice-cream.
