Applesauce so buttery and smooth it doesn't taste real

Wash, peel, and slice the apples into thin pieces.

Transfer apples to a pot and set heat to medium–medium high.

Add sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice, and a splash of water.

Stir well, cover, and cook for 5–10 minutes.

Stir again, cover, and cook for another 15 minutes.

Lower heat and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring regularly and adding water if needed.

Stir in butter until melted, turn off heat, cover for 5 minutes, then serve hot or cold.
