Yield: 8 Servings
6 ea Apples baking; cored 2 tb Sugar brown; up to 1/2 cup
2 qt Cider sweet; or hard cider -or a mixture of cider & ale 1/8 ts Nutmeg
1/4 ts Cinnamon 1/4 ts Ginger; ground
Roast the apples in a baking pan at 450F for about an hour or until they are very soft and begin to burst. (An alternative - and quicker- procedure is to peel and boil the apples until they are very soft and flaky.) You may leave the apples whole or break them up. In a large saucepan dissolve the sugar a few tablespoons at a time in the cider or ale tasting for sweetness. Add the spices. Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Pour the liquid over the apples in a large punch bowl or serve in a large heat resistant mugs. MAKES: 8 1 cup servings Note: Nuts make a nice accompaniment to Lamb's Wool (they were originally roasted in with the apples.)
