Stir the mixture until well combined and it starts to simmer.
Add the apple slices to the pot, ensuring they’re evenly coated with the liquid.
Cover the pot with a lid and let the apples cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but not mushy.
After cooking, remove the pot from heat, remove the lid, and stir in vanilla extract.
Allow the stewed apples to cool slightly before serving.
