Chop the apples around the core, leaving the core and seeds behind.

Keep the apple chunks large and even for even cooking.

Place the chopped apples in a pot.

Cover the apples with enough water to submerge them.

Add about 4 dashes of cinnamon to the pot with the apples.

Put the heat on high and bring the water to a boil.

Once boiling, mix the apples and cover the pot, then reduce heat to medium-high.

Cook the apples for about 15 minutes until they are fork tender.

Turn off the stove and transfer the apples to a blender, leaving the water behind.

Squeeze in fresh lemon juice to taste.

Blend the apples starting on low, then increase to high until smooth and creamy.
