1
Prepare the Apples
Wash, peel, and core the apples. Cut them into quarters or smaller pieces to ensure even cooking.
2
Combine Ingredients
In a large pot, combine the chopped apples, 1 cup of water, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

3
Cook the Apples
Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Simmer for about 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender.
4
Mash the Apples
After the apples are tender, use a potato masher or immersion blender to mash the apples to your desired consistency. For a smoother texture, blend longer.
5
Seasoning Adjustments
Taste the applesauce and add salt and more sugar if needed, adjusting to your preference.

6
Cool the Applesauce
Remove the pot from heat and let the applesauce cool to room temperature.
7
Store the Applesauce
Transfer the cooled applesauce to airtight containers and refrigerate. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
