Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the 4 apples into chunks. Place them in a medium saucepan with the 0.5 cup water.
Step 2
Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the apples are very soft and falling apart, about 15 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the 2 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp lemon juice, and 0.5 tsp cinnamon. Mash with a fork or potato masher to your desired consistency.
Step 4
Taste and add more sugar or cinnamon if you like. Serve warm or chilled.
Step 5
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
