Preparation
- Step 1
Put the apple quarters in a saucepan or saute pan just big enough to hold them in a single layer. Tuck in the vanilla sections, sprinkle the sugar over the apples and pour the water and the rum over them also.
- Step 2
Cook, covered, over low heat, shaking the pan from time to time, for about 20 minutes, or until the quarters are soft and on the verge of collapse.
- Step 3
Transfer the quarters to a glass serving dish, pour over their juices (the vanilla pod can be dried and reused) and serve tepid.
- For a dinner party, serve apples in individual glass dishes. This recipe is adapted from "Lulu's Provencal Table: The Exuberant Food and Wine from the Domaine Tempier Vineyard" (HarperCollins).

Made this for a dairy free, refined sugar free, gluten free friend; used honey instead of the sugar and vanilla extract because I didn't have a vanilla bean. Very good! Very easy to whip up on short notice. Will definitely make it again.
Made these for my vegan niece and served with a scoop of vegan vanilla bean ice cream and vegan granola for some texture. It’s was excellent, even the non vegans loved it. I used a tsp of vanilla bean paste instead of the whole bean and a bit more rum than called for because I wanted to add more flavor. Really good!
