Wash the apples thoroughly to remove any dirt or residue.
Core the apples and chop them into chunks. There's no need to peel them unless you prefer a smoother texture.
Place the apple chunks into a high-speed blender or food processor.
Add the lemon juice, water, and optional ingredients like cinnamon or a sweetener if desired.
Blend on medium speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides, until a smooth or slightly chunky consistency is achieved, depending on your preference.
Taste the applesauce and adjust the sweetness or cinnamon to your liking.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
