1/2 cup apple cider
4 pounds Macintosh apples - peeled, cored and chopped
3/4 cup dark brown sugar
1 cup apple brandy
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Directions
In a large saucepan, bring apple juice concentrate, apple cider, and Macintosh apples to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Stirring occasionally, simmer uncovered about 1 hour, until apples are easily mashed.
