Wash your apples thoroughly.

Core and dice apples. You can peel the apples if you choose, but we leave them on as the skin is full of fiber.

Put the diced apples into a medium pot.

Add just enough water to the pot to prevent your apples from sticking to the bottom. Apples naturally have a lot of moisture, so you don’t want to add too much water.

Turn the stove to medium-high and bring the water to a boil.

Once it’s boiling, lower the temperature and simmer for 15 minutes.

Turn off the heat and allow the apples to cool.

Puree them with a high-speed blender until you’ve reached your desired sauce consistency.

Note: Though you can sometimes use a sprinkle of cinnamon in baking, you absolutely should not use nutmeg. Nutmeg is unsafe for dogs as it contains the compound myristicin, which can cause hallucinations, abdominal pain, and even seizures.
