Simmer the Ingredients (20-25 minutes)

Place the apple chunks into a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
Add the water, lemon juice, packed light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Stir well to combine and coat the apples evenly with the spices and sugar.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the bottom from scorching. The apples are ready when they are very tender and fall apart easily when poked with a fork.

Mash to Desired Consistency (2-3 minutes)

Remove the pot from the heat.
For a rustic, chunky applesauce, use a potato masher directly in the pot to break down the apples.
For a smoother texture, use an immersion blender and blend until you reach your desired consistency.
Alternatively, you can carefully transfer the cooked apples to a regular blender or food processor for an ultra-smooth puree. Be cautious when blending hot liquids.

Cool and Serve

Taste the applesauce and adjust sweetness or cinnamon if desired.
Allow the applesauce to cool slightly before serving. It can be enjoyed warm, at room temperature, or chilled from the refrigerator.
