Step 1:

Peel and dice the apples

Begin by peeling all three apples individually and then slice them in both directions to make small cubes. Discard the cores and any pips.

Step 2:

Put into the saucepan

Place the diced apple into the pan. Add 200ml of water and sprinkle with the sugar.

Cover with the saucepan lid.

Step 3:

Stew the apples

Over a low heat, bring the apples to a gentle simmer and stew them for 15 minutes.

Stir occasionally to avoid sticking.

Step 4:

A smoother sauce can be made by putting the purée through a liquidiser.
