Instructions
Wash, peel and chop your apples and set them aside.
In a medium sized pot add the apples, water, lemon juice, salt and cinnamon.
Turn the heat to medium high and bring to a boil. Once boiling let boil for 15-20 minutes. The applesauce is done cooking when the apples are tender, soft and easily pierced with a fork. Remove the applesauce from the heat and turn off the stove.
If you are wanting a chunky applesauce use a potato masher and mash them. If you are wanting a smooth applesauce blend with a hand blender.
If you are wanting a sweeter applesauce, then before blending you will want to add the agave nectar.
Serve immediately if you want it warm, or refrigerate and serve cold.
