To begin making the Homemade Applesauce recipe, in a saucepan, combine diced apples, water, sugar, and cinnamon. Turn on the heat to medium.

Cover the pan and cook the apples over for about 20 minutes until apples are soft and tender. The texture should be such that, when you press with a fork over it should mash up.

Allow the apple mixture to cool and then mash with a fork or potato masher.

You can also puree the applesauce and store in the refrigerator for a couple of days, in an airtight container.
