- 0.75 cups white sugar

Place apples, sugar, water, and lemon juice in a large pot; bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until apples are very soft and lose their shape, about 25 minutes.

Remove the pot from the heat; cool apples slightly. Transfer apples to the bowl of a food processor or a food mill; purée. If using a food processor, strain apples through a sieve to remove skins. Transfer applesauce to a large bowl.
