1
Peel and core the apples. Cut them into smaller cubes. Place them in a pot and pour in the juice from 2 oranges.

Slit the vanilla pod lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with a knife. Add them to the apples. Then add cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and sugar. Mix well and bring to a boil.

Then reduce the heat to minimum and let it simmer for 1.5 – 2 hours. Afterwards, remove the spices and blend with an immersion blender.
