Ingredients
- 4 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
- 0.5 cup Raisins
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small, evenly-sized pieces to ensure uniform cooking.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter until it begins to foam.
Step 3
Add the diced apples to the saucepan and stir to coat them in the melted butter.
Step 4
Stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Mix well to evenly coat the apples with the spices.
Step 5
Pour the water and lemon juice into the pan, then mix thoroughly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let the mixture cook for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 7
After 15 minutes, stir in the raisins and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes, uncovered, until the apples are soft and the liquid has thickened into a syrupy consistency.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a topping for pancakes, waffles, ice cream, or roasted meats. Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
