Peel, core, and chop the apples into evenly-sized chunks, about 1 inch in size.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, apple cider, granulated sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and start breaking down.
Use a potato masher or an immersion blender to mash the apples to your preferred consistency. For a chunkier texture, mash lightly; for a smoother sauce, blend thoroughly.
Taste the applesauce and adjust sweetness or cinnamon to your liking, if necessary.
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before transferring it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for longer storage.
Serve warm, chilled, or at room temperature as desired.
