Sweet Fuji, Gala, or Honeycrisp apples simmer down into a soft, spoonable sauce, kissed with maple syrup, warm cinnamon, and a good splash of vanilla extract. Everything cooks together in one pot until the apples collapse into tenderness, then you mash or blend to whatever texture you're craving — rustic and chunky or silky smooth. A pinch of salt rounds out the sweetness without overpowering the fruit itself. Serve it warm as a cozy side, or chill it for a make-ahead snack that keeps well in the fridge. It's a naturally plant-based treat that fits effortlessly into a vegan spread, whether you're spooning it over oatmeal or eating it straight from the jar.

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.
