Ingredients

800 g Apples
1 tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tbsp Light Brown Sugar
½ tsp Sea Salt Flakes

Instructions

Choose roughly 800g Apples. Cooking apples will make for a more tart sauce and eating apples will be more sweet.
Peel and quarter the first apple. Remove the core and cut into squares.
Add the apple cubes to a medium saucepan along with 1 tbsp Lemon Juice. Toss the apple pieces in the juice to fully coat them. This will prevent them from browning.
Repeat with the remaining apples making sure to add the cubes to the pan and toss them to coat in lemon juice as you go along.
Once all the apple is prepared and in the saucepan, add 2 tbsp Light Brown Sugar and ½ tsp Sea Salt Flakes.
Put the pan on a medium high heat and keep stirring until the sugar has melted and the apples have started to release their juices.
Once bubbling away, add a lid to the pan and turn the heat to low. Allow to cook for around 20 minutes stirring occasionally to make sure nothing has stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Remove the lid and use the spatula to start pressing the apple cubes to crush them against the sides of the pan. If you find that the chunks aren't easily squashed, replace the lid and continue cooking for a little longer.
Continue to mush the apple against the pan whilst any remaining liquid evaporates and until you find yourself with a sauce with the texture of your choosing. I like a bit of texture and for it not to be too runny.
Taste the sauce (be careful, allow a spoon of it to cool) and add any extra salt or sugar as you think you need.
If you want the sauce to be smoother you can use a stick blender.
If you want a looser sauce, add water until you're happy with the consistency.
Serve the sauce warm or cold as you prefer.
