Steam the apples until soft and slightly mushy, stirring occasionally. You may need to add water if it is absorbed before apples are soft enough.

Take a potato masher and mash up the apples into sauce. It should be thick and a little chunky. If you like it more smooth, blend on low with hand held electric blender. Add a little cinnamon, if desired. No added sugar is needed as the apples are sweet enough!

YUM! Delicious!
