Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let it cook for about 25-30 minutes or until the apples are soft and tender.
Remove the cinnamon stick and mash the apples gently with a fork or a potato masher, depending on your desired consistency.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to incorporate the flavors completely.
Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving, or refrigerate for future use.
Serve warm or chilled, as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, or ice cream, or enjoy as it is.
