Directions

Wash, peel, core, and slice apples.
Place prepared apples in sauce pan. Add ½" of water to the bottom of the sauce pan and cook, partially covered, over medium to low heat, 15-20 minutes.
Add sugar, approximately 1/4 cup per 4 or 5 apples. Adjust the amount of sugar based on the type and sweetness of the apple variety being used. Add cinnamon and vanilla.
Cook for an additional 5 minutes. If sauce is too thick, add a small amount of water.
10-12 medium apples make approximately 1 quart of sauce.

Since some apples cook up softer than others, the consistency of the sauce may vary. If a smoother textured sauce is desired, place sauce in blender or a food processor and blend until desired consistency is achieved.
