Process

Peel and chop apples. Add them to to dutch oven with water, cinnamon stick, and maple syrup.
Cook down mixture until apples are desired firmness.
I prefer the apples to still be still chunky and firm. About 30 minutes. Stir often so apples don't burn.
Transfer to a food processor, and blend/pulse for a few seconds. Add a pinch of cinnamon, or more to taste. A little goes a long way.
(optional) sprinkle a little cinnamon over the top and serve.
