Peel apples, core them and slice into small chunks.
Melt the butter in a pot over medium and add the cinnamon.
Stir in the apples, sugar & 3 tablespoons water.
Cover and cook, stirring every few minutes for 7-12 minutes or until slightly soft.
In a bowl, combine cornstarch and water.
Whisk in this slurry slowly to the pot and cook another 2 minutes or until thick. (You may not need it all)
Let cool!
