Homemade Apple Sauce

I made this a few weeks ago and was really happy with the flavor, and the simplicity of the recipe!

Ingredients
3lbs apples, peeled and cored
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white sugar
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon

Directions
Place apples in large saucepan. Just cover with water.

Simmer over medium-low heat until apples are tender- 15 to 20 minutes. Run cooked apples through the blender until smooth.

Return apple mixture to pan. Stir in sugar and lemon juice, vanilla and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 5 more minutes.
