½-1 tablespoon lemon juice (to offset tartness of the apples, so adjust as needed)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract*
1 teaspoon cinnamon*
Instructions
The apples must be peeled, cored and sliced. I have an apple slicer that makes this job quicker and easier.
Place the apple slices in a slow cooker and pour water over them. Sprinkle with salt, cover and cook for 6 hours on low.
After 6 hours, stir in the honey, lemon juice (if needed), vanilla and cinnamon. I use the potato masher I inherited from my great-grandmother to mash and mix the ingredients to the consistency we prefer. You could use a blender to do the same.
