Over medium heat, melt the ghee. Add the apples and sugar; cook for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently till apples produce some moisture.
Add the vanilla, spices and a splash of water.
Cook for 10-15 minutes til the apples are softened to a consistency you prefer. If they are too dry, add another splash of water.
Taste and adjust seasonings. Cook for another few minutes.
Remove from heat and cool or serve. Sprinkle a dash of cinnamon and add whipped cream. (optional)
