Small Batch Homemade Applesauce

Directions

1. 1
   In a large saucepan, combine the apples, water, and lemon slice. Bring to a boil then cook for 10-15 minutes or until the apples are soft.
2. 2
   Remove from the heat and press through a food mill, potato ricer, or smash by hand (discard the lemon slice and any apple peel that may have sneaked through). Taste then add some sugar (I use 1-2 teaspoons) and some cinnamon (I use a few shakes). Adjust as necessary.
3. 3
   Serve warm or cold.
