Sweet Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp apples simmer down with water, maple syrup, and cinnamon until they collapse into soft, tender chunks, then get finished with a splash of vanilla for a warm, cozy depth. Mash it with a potato masher for a rustic, chunky texture or blend it smooth with an immersion blender — either way, you're in control of the final consistency. There's no baking involved, just a simple stovetop simmer, which makes this an easy, low-effort treat any time of year. A pinch of salt rounds out the sweetness so the maple and cinnamon really shine through. Serve it warm as a cozy snack, or chill it for a refreshing spoonful straight from the fridge. This naturally simple ingredient list makes it a solid, no-fuss choice for a gluten free kitchen.

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.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
