Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Stir in the cane sugar, ground cinnamon, and ground cloves.
Continue to cook the mixture for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples become tender.
Use a potato masher or fork to gently mash the apples to your desired consistency - smooth or chunky.
Stir in the vanilla extract and let the compote simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the compote to cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm or cold. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
