Step 1

In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the 3 tbsp of butter. Add the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and all but 2 tablespoons of the water.

Step 2

Cook for about 6 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples start to soften but still hold their shape.

Step 3

Whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 2 tablespoons of water until smooth. Pour this slurry into the simmering apples.

Step 4

Stir constantly for 1 to 2 minutes. The liquid will quickly bubble and thicken into a glossy, jammy glaze. Remove from heat, stir in the vanilla extract, and let it cool completely.
