• 4-5 large apples (or 6-9 small apples), peeled and cored • 1 tsp. lemon juice • ¼ - ¾ cup granulated sugar • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
Directions—
• Cut the apples into ⅛” slices and cut those slices in half. Put the apples in a saucepan and add the lemon juice and ¾ cup water. Stir apples to coat thoroughly with the mixture. Cover the apples and cook over medium heat for 7 minutes.
• Add ¼ cup to ¾ cup sugar, depending on the sweetness of your apples. Turn heat down to medium-low and cook uncovered until water evaporates and the apples are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cinnamon.
• Store applesauce in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. May be served warmed or cold.
