Peel, core, and chop the apples into medium-sized chunks.
In a large saucepan, combine the chopped apples and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
Cover and let the apples cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are very soft.
Remove from heat and stir in the ground cinnamon and lemon juice.
Using an immersion blender, blend the apples directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the apples to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
Allow the apple sauce to cool slightly before serving or storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
