4 lbs. apples
1/2 tbsp. brown sugar - (optional if you are okay with refined sugar)
1/2 tbsp. vanilla
1 cinnamon stick
6 1/2 oz. water

Raise the heat and add the apple cubes and cinnamon stick when the water starts to boil. Close the lid of the pot and reduce the heat. Cook on low heat for 15 minutes
After 15 minutes, check the apples with a fork. If the apples are completely soft, turn off the stove.
Finally, remove the cinnamon from the pot, put all the ingredients (except the cinnamon) in a blender, and then puree them.

If the apples remain hard, add a little more water and continue cooking.
