Instructions
- Cut the cores out of the apples. Chop the apples into 1-inch pieces, and place in the cooking pot.
- Add the ghee, vanilla powder, cinnamon, cardamom, and salt. Stir until the apples are evenly coated.
- Add the water to the cooking pot.
- Put the lid of the cooking pot. Cook on high for 3 hours.
- Transfer the apple mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth. CAUTION when blending hot foods. Keep the hole in the blender lid slightly open to prevent a vacuum seal.
