6 Granny Smith, Pippin, or any tart apples, peeled, cored, and cut into chunks.
½ tablespoonlemon juice
¼ cup sugar
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
Instructions
In a large saucepan, toss the apples and lemon juice.
Stir in the sugar and cinnamon.
Cover and cook slowly over a low flame until the apples are tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove the cover and slightly mash the cooked apples with a fork. Be careful to keep them chunky. For very smooth applesauce you can puree the apples or mash until smooth.
