Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups diced apples about 3 apples
  • ¾ - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ cup water

Instructions
 

  • Your choice to peel apples or leave peel on. Slice apples and cut into approximately 1"x ½" pieces. If you plan on blending it smooth the size doesn't matter here, so cut larger pieces to save time.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, add diced apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon and water. Cover and cook on low heat (level 2) for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to avoid sticking.
    If you're changing the portion size of the recipe, decrease or increase time as needed just until apples are soft and slightly mashable.
  • Options for texture:
    Leave as large pieces.
    Mash with potato masher.
    Blend with immersion blender or heat-safe standup blender.
  • Cool in fridge or transfer to freezer safe jars and freeze immediately for storage.
