Homemade cinnamon apple sauce:

8 apples of your choice (we used snapdragons)
1 tbsp. Of sugar
2 tbsp. Of cinnamon
1 1/2 cups water

Chop apples and core them. We leave skins in for more flavor. Mix all ingredients in big pot and bring to a boil. The smaller the apple pieces, the faster it will boil. It took us a good 45 minutes until they were softened. Use masher or immersion blender to blend. A great healthy dessert!
