What is the browser engine used by HTML5/Javascript Universal Apps in Windows 10?

In Windows 10, it is possible to create Universal Apps using HTML5 and Javascript (as an alternative to C#/XAML).

I'm wondering which browser engine is used to execute those apps. Is it the engine of the Edge browser? Or IE 11? Or something different?

Knowing the engine would make it easier to check for compatibility of frameworks and Javascript features.
