Homemade Apple Sauce

Peel and core all your apples, dicing them into small, consistent pieces. 

Once diced, add the apples to a pot with the water, lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and vanilla. 

Cover the pot and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until apples are soft. (About 10 mins). 

Pour the apple mixture into a blender and blend until smooth. 

Store in the refrigerator for up to four days or if you want to preserve your apple sauce, pour into half pint jars, add 1/8 tsp. Citric Acid to each jar, and put into hot water bath for 10 mins.
