6 servings
- 3 lbs sweet apples (such as fuji, gala, or honeycrisp — about 6 medium), peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
- ⅓ cup water
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¾ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
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.
