Homemade applesauce is rich, creamy and tastes like eating a warm baked apple. Take your kids apple picking and then make a batch of this delicious long-time kid favorite staple.
Wash, core, and chop apples. You can leave the peel on if you want.
In a saucepan, combine apples, water, and cinnamon.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes or until apples are soft.
Allow to cool, then mash with a fork or potato masher. For a smoother texture, transfer apple mixture to a food processor and pulse until the desired consistency is reached.
