FOR A THICKER SAUCE We like the recipe as is. But if you think you’d like a thicker sauce: 1. COMBINE 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 1/2 cup cold water. Prior to adding spices and sugar, stir into the apples. 2. ADD spices and sugar and bring to a simmer; reduce heat and simmer for about 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. |
