Brandied Applesauce

• 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)

1. Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
2. In a pressure cooker, combine all the ingredients and cook at high pressure for 2 minutes.
3. 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.
4. Taste and adjust sweetness and flavorings.
5. Set aside to cool, then cover and refrigerate.
