Directions

1. Use the KitchenAid® Spiralizer Attachment fitted to the power hub of your Stand Mixer to peel, core, and slice the apples (using the Slicing (Large Core) blade). Cut the apple slices into quarters.
2. Place the prepared apples in the 3.5-Quart Sauté with Lid from your KitchenAid® Tri-Ply Copper 10-Piece Set and add the whole cinnamon sticks, cardamom pods, finely chopped ginger, brown sugar, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat on the cooktop of your KitchenAid® Gas Convection Slide-In Range, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the apples are very soft and starting to break down, 15-20 minutes. Remove the lid and cook, stirring, until the excess water has evaporated, a few more minutes. Let cool for a few minutes until it’s warm, not piping hot.
3. Remove and discard the cinnamon sticks and cardamom pods. Place the applesauce in the KitchenAid® Pro Line® Series Blender, add the lemon juice, and pulse until smooth, scraping down the sides of the jar occasionally. Chill the applesauce until needed, up to 1 week.
