Steps:

• To make the sauce: Melt butter in a 3-quart saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion, carrot and celery and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add curry and chili powders and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes. Whisk in flour, coconut milk and 1/3 cup water, raise heat to medium and whisk until just boiling. Whisk in salt, mace, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, cinnamon and then apple. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
