In a medium sized bowl, toss the apple slices in the lemon juice.
In a mixing bowl combine sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and salt.
Pour water into a dutch oven and whisk in sugar mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Once mixture is boiling, stir in apples.
Reduce heat to low and simmer for about 10 minutes, until apples are soft but not mushy.
Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
