  1. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, apple pie spice, orange juice, orange zest, and lemon juice to a medium heavy-bottomed pot. Place over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 30-40 minutes or until the apples have softened but still retain most of their shape and the juices have thickened into a syrupy consistency.
  2. Remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla.
  3. Serve warm or chilled over pancakes, waffles, french toast, yogurt, ice cream, etc.
  4. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
