Ingredients for the recipe:

• 4 apples (Golden or Pink Lady variety)
• 1 vanilla bean (or 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract)
• 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
• 1 piece of fresh ginger (about 2 cm) or 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger
• 1 to 2 tablespoons of sugar (or honey, to taste)
• 100 ml of water

Instructions

• Prepare the apples: peel, core, and cut them into pieces.

• In a saucepan, add the apple pieces, water, cinnamon, split vanilla bean (scrape the seeds and add them as well), and grated fresh ginger.

• Let simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender.

• Remove the vanilla bean, then mash the apples with a fork or blend them to your preferred texture (smooth or chunky).

• Taste and sweeten with sugar or honey as desired.
