Ingredients
3 med cooking apples,wedge of lemon1 or 2 tsps ground cinnamon50g sugartap water(enough to cover ingredients)
Directions
Peel, core and dice the apples
Put in a saucepan
Squeeze the lemon over apple chunks and leave the lemon wedge in the pan.
Add enough cold water to just about cover the chunks

Put on a medium heat with a lid on for 15-20 mins

Then mash the apple in the pan and stir in sugar and cinnamon.
Put the lid back on for just a few mins.

finally remove the lemon wedge(careful it's really hot!)
and if you want a really smooth sauce push it through a sieve before putting in a jar.

(TIP: leaving the lemon in while cooking not only gives it a good tang but since most of the pectin in a lemon is in the peel it will help preserve the sauce too)
