Peel, core, and slice or chop apples.
Place apples in a large saucepan with water and sugar.
Mix and simmer, stirring frequently and mashing with a potato masher when apples start to soften.
When your sauce is the consistency you desire (will take 20-30 minutes), taste for sweetness, and add more sugar if desired.
Add cinnamon and taste, adding more if desired.
Add a touch of lemon juice if the applesauce seems too sweet.
