- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Instructions
Peel, core, and cut the apples into 1/2-inch slices.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the water, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir until the sugar begins to dissolve.
Add the sliced apples to the saucepan and stir to coat them evenly with the spiced sugar mixture.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and vanilla extract.
Let the stewed apples cool slightly before serving.
