Instructions: In a large , heavy saucepan desolve the sugar and the water. Stir in apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and lemon rind. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover and cook, stirring often till apples are tender. Stir together the corn starch, lemon juice and vanilla. Mix until no lumps appear. Stir into apples, cook and stir gently until mixture thickens. (If apples are very juicy, you may need to add more cornstarch with cold water.) Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
