For smooth applesauce, core and coarsely chop apples, leaving on the peel. For chunky applesauce, peel, core, and coarsely chop apples. Put apple chunks in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Add apple cider, juice, or water and cinnamon stick (if using). Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

Lower heat to medium low and stir with a wooden spoon. Cook for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally and checking to make sure apples are not scorching.

When apples are extremely tender and can be broken down to a chunky sauce with vigorous stirring, remove from heat. Remove cinnamon stick (if used). Let cool for a few minutes, then add sugar, a large pinch of salt, and lemon juice.

For smooth applesauce, let apples cool to room temperature. Using a food mill fitted with a medium disk, pass apple mixture through the mill to form a smooth purée. For chunky sauce, beat apples with a wooden spoon until desired consistency is reached. Let cool.
