📝 Preparation Steps
1
Core the apples. Cut into wedges and place the pieces in a medium saucepot. (No need to peel the apples.) Add the apple cider vinegar, salt, and water.
2
Set the pot over medium heat. Cover, leaving a little space open for the pot to vent, and simmer for 20 to ⏱️ 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat when the apples are extremely tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
3
Place the apple mash and liquid in a food mill set over a large bowl. Grind the apples into a fine sauce. Discard the peels. (Don’t have a food mill? Peel the apples before cooking, and then puree the apple mash in the blender!)
4
Place apple sauce back into the original pot. Set back over medium heat and add the sugar, spices, and vanilla. Simmer, stirring every couple minutes, until the sauce thickens and turns dark brown, about ⏱️ 15 minutes.
5
Cool, then store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks, or can for long-term storage.
