Peel, core, and chop 6 apples into chunks.

Add 1 cup of filtered water to a large pot.

Add 1/3 cup of white granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to the pot.

Stir the mixture and set the heat to medium-high.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the pot.

Let the mixture simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until the apples are really soft.

Check the apples after 20 minutes; they should be semi-translucent and easily mashable.

If needed, simmer for an additional 5 minutes until soft enough to mash.

Remove the pot from heat and let it cool for about 5 minutes.

Use a fork, potato masher, or immersion blender to mash the apples to your desired consistency.

Serve warm or let it cool completely before storing in a Mason jar.
