How To Make homemade applesauce

    Core apples and cut into eighths. Peel if desired; it's not necessary. Place in large, heavy pot with the lemon slices, cinnamon sticks and water. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, stirring often. Cook until apples are soft, 15 minutes or so. Remove lemon and cinnamon; stir in sugar. Put mixture into food processor and pulse until smooth. Taste and add more sugar if you like. Store in the refrigerator. Garnish with a sprinkling of cinnamon on top when serving.
