1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

~Preheat oven to 400°.

~In a small saucepan, combine the apples, sugar, water, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Sprinkle with flour; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in butter and lemon juice. Remove from the heat; add vanilla. Set aside to cool.
