  1. Cut apples (and pears, if using) into 1-inch chunks, discarding seeds and core. Slice open the vanilla bean and scrape out the seeds. Reserve bean for another use.
  2. In a pot large enough to hold the apples, bring the water and apple juice to a boil. Stir in the vanilla seeds.
  3. Add the apples and lemon juice and cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples cook down.
  4. Pour into a bowl and mash with a fork or potato masher. Serve hot.
