First of all your going to need to peel and core the apples. Dad taught me to take the ends off of the apples first, I find them a lot easier to peel this way!

I keep both hands in contact with the blade at all times so the knife doesn't slip and cut me. Notice my thumb is safely tucked away too.

This takes a little time but a big bowl full of sliced and cored apples is a pretty cool reward. They are tasty just like this or sprinkled with a little cinnamon sugar or dipped in peanut butter

Dump them into a large pot and make sure you use a pot that has a good lid. Dad says that this keeps the steam in and helps to cook the apples faster.

If your other ingredients are all ready to go, then you can turn on the stove to a medium heat.

Sprinkle sugar over the top of all the apples. It's fun to grab a handful of sugar. Cleaning it off my hands with my tongue was fun too. Dad made me wash my hands after though.

Grate your cinnamon stick... This is pretty  hard to do but worth it for the taste of fresh cinnamon. If you don't have a rasp like this then you might be able to use the fine side on a box grater. .

A little molasses goes a long way. It came out pretty quick, I don't know why dad always says I'm "slow as molasses".

Dad won't let me have real rum so I'm using extract. But if your old enough, use a shot or two of good dark rum instead. You'll thank me later.  Oh and add the vanilla now too.

Now it's time to put the lid on and clean the kitchen.  We also started getting our pancakes ready while it was cooking. Stir it every 5 minutes or so and add a bit of water if it gets to dry.

Another 5 minutes and the sauce is getting thick. The apples are starting to break up too.

Stir it up. The smell from this is making my tummy grumble. If you do want to sneak a taste, like I did, make sure you blow on it to cool it down. The melted sugar makes it really hot!
