8 cooking apples, peeled, cored, and chopped (Jonathan apples work well)
1/2 c. sugar
1 T. cinnamon
juice of 1/2 lemon (or a few drops of orange juice)
1 t. vanilla extract
water
Place apples in a 5-quart pot. Add sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and vanilla. Add just enough water to cover half the apples (to prevent a watery sauce).
Bring apples to boiling; reduce heat and simmer until apples are soft.
Hand-blend or mash apples to desired consistency (I just mashed gently with a fork--I wanted chunky sauce). Serve warm or cold.
This sauce is delicious served over pancakes! It is also delicious warm on vanilla ice cream.
