View source for Orange Cardamom Applesauce

From the kitchen of Alicia Wingren<br>
3lbs apples (I used 6 golden delicious), cored, sliced thin, NOT peeled<br>
1 1/2 c. Water<br>
1 tsp. cinnamon<br>
1 1/2 tsp. cardamom, ground<br>
Zest and juice of 2 oranges<br>
Pinch of salt<br>
1 Tbsp. white sugar (optional)<br>
<br>
Simmer all ingredients for ~30 minutes until apples are sufficiently cooked down. Strain to get rid of peel if desired.
