A big pot of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp chunks simmers down into a soft, spoonable sauce, brightened with fresh lemon juice and warmed through with cinnamon. A touch of sugar and a pinch of salt round out the sweetness without overpowering the natural apple flavor, and a simple mash gets you anywhere from rustic and chunky to smooth, depending on your mood. It comes together in one saucepan with almost no hands-on effort, making it an easy staple to keep stocked in the fridge. Serve it warm as a cozy side or spoon it cold straight from the jar — either way, this one fits perfectly into a plant-based kitchen with zero fuss.

Combine the apple chunks, water, lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large saucepan. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 18–22 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are completely tender and collapse easily when pressed with a spoon.
