Notes

Choose the Right Apples: Use a mix of apple varieties for the best flavor and texture. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Fuji are great options that hold up well during cooking.
Mix Thoroughly: Ensure the sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and vanilla mixture is well combined with the apples to evenly distribute the flavors and thicken the sauce.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture before cooking and adjust the sugar to your preference. Some apple varieties are sweeter than others, so you might need to add more or less sugar.
