Instructions

Core and chop the apples into large chunks. Combine them with apple juice and apple cider vinegar in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes until soft.
Stir in brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well mixed.
Blend the mixture using an immersion blender until smooth (it will thicken later).
Return the blended mixture to the pot and cook uncovered over medium heat for another 30-45 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes until thickened.
Serve warm or let cool before storing in jars.
