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, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir to coat the apples, then cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are completely tender and collapse easily when pressed with a spoon, about 20–25 minutes.
2
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
