Homemade Applesauce

Makes 1 cup

Ingredients:

• 2 apples, peeled and diced
• ¼  cup water
• Optional: a pinch of cinnamon

Directions:

1. Put apples and water in a saucepan.
2. Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, or until apples are soft.
3. Drain water. Transfer apples to a bowl (so that the cookware doesn’t get scratched) and mash with a fork.  If a less chunky consistency is desired, put apples on a plate and mash with the bottom of a cup.  If desired, sprinkle with cinnamon.
