Homemade Apple Sauce

Ingredients

• 4 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped

• ¾ cup water

• ¼ cup white sugar (adjust to taste)

• ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Place the chopped apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon into a medium saucepan.

2. Cover the pan and heat over medium flame. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very soft — about 15 to 20 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

4. Using a fork, potato masher, or blender, mash the apples to your preferred texture — smooth or chunky.

5. Serve warm or chilled! Great on its own or as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, or pork chops.
