Easy And Fast Applesauce

I lived for years near a northern California apple cider and apple juice bottler. My mom would always make apple butter and applesauce when the apples were brought in from harvesting. The easiest way to make applesauce is to take the apples, wash and peel them, cut them into chunks, put them in a pot with just a little lemon juice and water and let them cook down. Add sugar and cinnamon after you have mashed the apples with a potato masher. Easy and fast and tastes great!
