Put all ingredients in a sauce pan and cook over medium-low heat until the apples are cooked down and it becomes thick and bubbly. Add 2 Tablespoons butter and stir in until melted. Cool completely and freeze or use in a pie crust. If baking a pie, pour filling into a deep dish pie crust and top with crumble: 1/2 C brown sugar, 1/2 C flour, 1/2 C whole oats, and 5 Tablespoons cold butter cut up. Blend those ingredients with a pastry blender and top the pie filling.
