What each ingredient does
- Apples
- Form the sauce itself, softening into a thick pulp as their cell walls break down during cooking.
The step that matters
Simmer gently over low heat until well broken down. With only a tablespoon of water, the apples can scorch on the bottom if heat is too high. Low heat in a covered pan lets them soften evenly by steam.
