Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_calorie'], recipe: core apples (and/or peel-see message). cut into chunks the size you prefer. put water into saucepan with apples. dump red hot candies over top. about 10 minutes into cooking time, mix candies into softened apples. simmer until as soft or done as you like it.

Target recipe: peel, core, and chop the apples into chunks. place these in a covered microwave dish with just enough water to almost cover. cook for about 10-12 minutes on high setting or until mushy, stir every 4-5 minutes. you may need to cook a little longer if you are using fresh apples. allow to cool and place in a blender set on pulse. when the right consistency is achieved add the sugar substitute, taste for sweetness (taste frequently- it's easy to make it too sweet). yield: 6 cups. notes:* as a rule of thumb use 1 large apple for 3/4 cup of sauce. **do not add sweetener before cooking! if you want pink sauce use idared apples and leave the skins on. remove the skins using a sieve just before serving.
