- 1 cinnamon stick or 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
- 3 tbsp sugar (adjust to your liking)
- ¾ cup water
- 2 tsp of freshly squeezed Italian lemon juice
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into large squares.
- In a large saucepan, add the apples, sugar, water, and cinnamon and bring it to a boil. Then reduce the heat and cover. Stir occasionally. After 30 to 35 minutes, the apples should be tender. If the apple sauce starts sticking to the bottom of the pan you can add a couple of tablespoons of water.
