Instructions

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine apples, water, cinnamon and lemon juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-25 minutes, depending on the size of your apples. You’ll know they’re ready when the apples are soft and have lost their shape.
Remove the apples from the heat and allow to cool slightly. For a chunky applesauce: use a potato masher to mash the apples. For a smooth applesauce: place cooked apples in a food processor or high-powered blender and blend until smooth. You can also use an immersion blender.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Notes

Slow cooker applesauce: Just add all your ingredients and cook on high for 3-4 hours or low for about 6 hours or until your apples are soft and mashable. Then blend or mash as desired!
