Peel, core, and chop the apples into small, even-sized cubes.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apples with the water and lemon juice.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the pan and reduce the heat to low. Let the apples cook for about 20 minutes, occasionally stirring, until they are tender and beginning to break down.
Uncover the pan and add the honey and cinnamon, stirring well to combine.
Continue to cook the compote uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it has thickened to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the compote to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or chilled, as desired. Transfer any leftovers to a sealed container and store them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
