Prepare the apples

• Wash, peel and core the apples.
• Slice some apples thinly for the chips and cut the rest into chunks for the sauce.
• Toss the slices with lemon juice to keep them from browning.

Make the apple chips

• Arrange the thin apple slices in a single layer on a baking tray.
• Dust with ground cinnamon.
• Bake at 100 °C until dry and crisp, turning halfway.

Cook the apple sauce

• Put the apple chunks in a pot with the water and lemon juice.
• Cover and simmer until the apples are completely soft.
• Stir in the ground cinnamon and sugar to taste.

Blend and jar

• Blend the cooked apples until smooth, or leave chunky as you like.
• Spoon the hot sauce into sterilized jars and seal.
