Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_carb'], recipe: cut unpeeled but cored apples into chunks, place in large sauce pan. add 1/2 inch of water. stir in sugar, vanilla and cinnamon. heat to boiling, reduce to low and simmer, covered, until apples soften (about 30 min.) press through a fine sieve or the fine disc of a food mill. taste and adjust seasoning. refrigerate.

Target recipe: place apple chunks in a steamer basket over boiling water. steam until apples are soft enough to be pierced by a dull utensil. remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. put apples and remaining ingredients into a blender or food processor; blend until desired consistency is reached (if more water is needed, use the apple-flavored water from the steamer). test for sweetness and add sugar if necessary. transfer to storage container and refrigerate until chilled. the flavor will improve as the applesauce rests.
