Step 1

In a large pot or skillet, heat butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla, over medium/low heat until ingredients are incorporated.

Step 2

Add apples and toss gently until everything is coated in the sugar sauce.

Step 3

Cover and continue cooking over medium/low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Remove from heat and serve or can. (Feel free to pack the apples and sauce separately if you want to use the liquid as a pancake or breakfast syrup.  If you want to thicken, remove the apples and slowly stir in corn starch, heating for an additional 3 - 5 minutes.  You'll want to serve the sauce warm as the butter may separate some in the refrigerator).

Step 5

ENJOY!
