1. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the apples, water and cinnamon. Once things start bubbling, lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes, or until the apples are mostly softened and broken down. Be sure to stir every few minutes!
2. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then empty it into a high powered blender or food processor. Puree the mixture until the applesauce is as smooth as you’d like it to be. Empty the sauce into containers and let it completely cool before refrigerating/freezing.

Applesauce will keep in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 1 week, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. See notes above for freezing instructions!
