Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce
Fall is the perfect season for Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce. My simple recipe combines apples, some fresh lemon juice, a bit of sugar, and cinnamon. We love this applesauce warm, but it's great cold out of the refrigerator too!

- 1 cup water
- 1/2 large lemon - freshly squeezed
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar

Instructions
- Prep apples. Use a sharp knife to cut the apples in fourths. Then use a paring knife to peel the skins and remove the core. If you have an apple peeler/corer, use that!
- Cook apples. Place the apples in a stock pot and add the lemon juice and water. Cook on medium heat until the apples are tender and partially broken down, using a wooden spoon to stir frequently. Cooking time will vary. Remove cooked apples from heat.10 large apples, 1/2 large lemon, 1 cup water

Notes
- Use any good cooking apple for your applesauce.
- Avoid adding too much water when cooking the apples. They will naturally break down, providing more liquid.
- If you like a sweeter applesauce, add more sugar.
- This applesauce stores well in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- Give it as a gift, in a mason jar tied with twine!
