Instructions
- Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the apples, stirring, until just tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk the cornstarch into the water, add it, and simmer until thick and glossy, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the vanilla and cool slightly. Serve warm with cinnamon pita chips or sugared bread.
Tips
- Vanilla swap: use vanilla bean paste 1:1 in place of the extract for visible specks, or the seeds of 1 vanilla bean for each tablespoon of extract.
- Best vanilla for this: Madagascar (rich, creamy, classic), or Mexican (spiced, warm, woodsy). Any pure vanilla works.
