What each ingredient does

Apples
Break down into soft pulp that gives the sauce its body and natural pectin for thickening.

The step that matters

Cover the dish while cooking. The covered dish and added water trap steam, so the apples soften evenly and are less likely to scorch or stick. Check for doneness by color and tenderness.
