Cover and simmer for approx 1.5 hours, until it thickens. Stirring every now and again. Strain thru a very fine sieve at least twice to remove any debris left behind from the cinnamon bark/stick.

I bottled this sauce in a few small glass jars, closed them tight straight away, allowed them to cool, then froze the ones I didn’t want to use straight away.

A lovely cinnamon, apple aroma will fill your house with this lovely healthy sauce. Enjoy on breakfast cereal, or in homemade granola, or use in baking dishes to replace butter.
