Ingredients

6 Granny Smith apples (about 2 1/2 pounds)

1/4 cup sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup dry red wine

3 tablespoons creme de cassis

Pepper to taste

Preparation

Peel and core apples; cut into large wedges and combine in saucepan with all other ingredients. Bring mixture to a boil and simmer, covered, 15 minutes or until tender. Remove cover and simmer until most liquid is evaporated, about 5 more minutes. Mash with a potato masher, leaving some chunks. Transfer to a bowl and chill overnight.
