Chop apples and pop them in your blender. You can peel them if you want, but I always opt to leave the peel on.

Add water, cinnamon, sugar, and nutmeg. Blend until desired consistency is achieved.

Serve cold if you’re in a hurry, or warm up in a saucepan on low heat for about 15 minutes, stirring in a bit of extra sugar and cinnamon for added flavor.
