Combine apple and water in a covered saucepan.  Cook on medium heat for 10 – 15 minutes, or until apples are tender and water is evaporated. Put apples through a food mill, or puree in a blender or food processor.  Taste and add sugar, if desired.  Reheat to dissolve and blend in sugar.

Store in refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
