Peel, core, and chop apples. Add apples to a large saucepan. Cover with water. Bring to a boil. Boil 10-15 minutes, or until apples are soft. Reserve 1/2 c. water. Drain. Add honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. Pureé with an immersion blender, or blend in batches in a blender. (For chunky applesauce, fork mash.) If it’s too thick, add some of the reserved water, a little at a time.
