Peel, core, and chop apples into chunks. Doesn't need to be precise. Place apples into large stockpot and fill halfway up the apples with water (about 1-2 cups). Turn stove to high and bring to a boil.
Lower heat and simmer until apples are tender. Approximately 30 minutes.
Once apples are tender, take a potato masher and mash apples until desired texture is achieved. If you prefer a smoother texture, feel free to use an immersion blender or food processor.
Add cinnamon and stir to combine.
Serve hot or cold.
