Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped apples, lemon juice, and water.
Stir in the sugar, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, lowering the heat if necessary to maintain a gentle simmer.
Cover and cook the apples for 20-25 minutes, or until they are soft and starting to break down. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the apples are tender, remove the lid and use a potato masher or wooden spoon to mash the apples to your desired consistency.
Cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, allowing some of the liquid to evaporate and the compote to thicken.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve the compote warm or refrigerate and serve chilled. It can be enjoyed as a topping for pancakes, yogurt, or simply on its own.
