1. In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine chopped apples, sugars, apple cider, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, and salt.
2. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer uncovered for 2–3 hours, stirring occasionally, until apples break down and mixture thickens, darkens, and coats the back of a spoon.
3. Use an immersion blender to puree until silky smooth (or transfer in batches to a blender).
4. Stir in vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice if needed.
5. Continue simmering 15–30 minutes more if a thicker consistency is desired.
6. Let cool slightly. Store in clean jars and refrigerate up to 3 weeks—or can using proper canning methods for shelf storage.

✨ Perfect for:
• Spreading on toast, biscuits, or pancakes
• Swirling into oatmeal or yogurt
• Gifting in pretty jars with a ribbon

💡 Slow cooker option: Cook on LOW 8–10 hours, stirring once or twice.
