Chef's tip
Season to taste - salt substitutes can taste bitter in larger amounts, so start with less.

Instructions

1
Combine the apple chunks, water, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large saucepan. Stir to coat the apples evenly.
2
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 18–22 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are completely tender and collapse easily when pressed with a spoon.
