Brandied Applesauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 lbs granny smith apples
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider
1/3 cup brandy, preferable applejack
2 cinnamon sticks
1 pinch nutmeg
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch ground ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
1/2 tablespoon lemon zest (1/2 lemon)

Preparation

Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
In a pressure cooker, combine all the ingredients and cook at high pressure for 2 minutes.
Let pressure release naturally (it'll take 10 to 20 minutes), then remove cinnamon sticks and coarsely chop the apples; alternatively, puree the apples if you prefer a smoother texture.
Taste and adjust sweetness and flavorings.
Set aside to cool, then cover and refrigerate.
