Ingredients
  • 6 apples, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon + more for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 cup water
Directions
  1. Wash the apples. Trim off the top ¼ inch and bottom ¼ inch, and discard. Peel all sides, then hold the apple upright and make four cuts around the core, getting as close as possible to the core without cutting into it. Discard the core, and chop up the rest of the apple. You should have roughly 6 cups of chopped apples.
  2. Add the apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, lemon juice, and water to a medium pot. Stir well.
  3. Place on the stove on medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Then, lower to medium, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the apples are soft and easily pierced with a fork. Remove from heat.
  4. Mash the apples with a potato masher, or you want it really smooth, use an immersion blender.
  5. Serve with more cinnamon, if desired, and enjoy!
