Preparation

Peel the apples, remove the cores and cut them into cubes.
In a saucepan, combine the apples, water, cinnamon, lemon juice and sugar if you are using it. Stir well and bring to a boil.
Reduce to medium-low, cover and cook about 20 minutes, until the apples are tender and translucent and crush with no resistance under a fork.
For a smooth applesauce, blend everything in a blender or food processor. For something more rustic, just mash with a fork or a potato masher.
Taste and adjust the cinnamon or sugar. If it looks too loose, put it back on the heat uncovered for a few minutes to reduce.
