My Momma's Cooked Apples

6 cups of firm apples (peeled and sliced)
3 cups of water
1 cup of sugar
1/4 cup of butter (1/2 stick)
1 tsp of cinnamon


Cook slowly over medium-low heat for 1-2 hours. Enjoy!

I am really blessed that all of the women in my family are excellent cooks. My mom can cook anything -- well... Anything except for biscuits and chili! But in my family when I was growing up, we would always have a big family dinner every Sunday and everyone would meet at my grandmother's house (all of her kids and their families) after church and we would all help her cook this huge meal and we'd all sit around this huge table and my grandfather would say grace and we'd eat until we were stuffed and then take a nap and go back to church that night. But anyway -- this is what my mom use to cook for our family dinners. This, my friends, is what I remember from being a child - my mothers cooked apples.
