- 1/2 lemon juiced
- 1 tsp cinnamon and nutmeg
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp cornstarch
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- First peel, core and dice the apples until they are bite-sized pieces.
- Place the apples in saucepan on medium heat.
- Add half a cup of water, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
- Also squeeze half a lemon into the pan as well. Stir together until apples are coated. Cover with lid and let cook for about 10 minutes.
