Ingredients
- 6 medium apples
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
Step 2
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, lemon juice, and salt.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat.
Step 4
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low, allowing the apples to cook until they are soft, roughly 20 minutes.
Step 5
Stir the apples occasionally to prevent sticking, adding a bit more water if needed to keep a moist environment.
Step 6
Once the apples are soft, use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the apples to your desired consistency.
Step 7
For a chunkier applesauce, mash lightly. For a smoother texture, blend until the sauce is completely smooth.
Step 8
Taste and adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if necessary.
Step 9
Remove from heat and let the applesauce cool to room temperature.
Step 10
Serve the cinnamon applesauce warm, chilled, or at room temperature. Enjoy as a side dish, or use it as a topping for desserts or breakfast foods.
