Steps
1
Wash, dry, and peel the apples. Discard the peel and core. Roughly chop into 1-inch pieces.
2
Add to a medium pot with 1½ cups water.
3
Set over medium heat and bring to a simmer and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes, or until the apples are breaking down and soft. (If the mixture is rapidly boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low.)
4
Stir in the cinnamon and lemon juice if using. Turn off heat.
5
Mash with a potato masher or with the back of a wooden spoon. Or, let cool slightly and puree with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender to blend very smooth. (If using a regular blender, allow some steam to escape as you blend to avoid an explosion.)
6
Serve or store.
