You should use the same amount as called for in the recipe.
According to Cooks Illustrated, imitation Vanilla has a *lot* more vanillin than real vanilla will have. Apparently, to be normal strength vanilla, you can only have so much vanilla.
There's double-strength vanilla, too, which is what I prefer to use.

Vanilla extract can be substitute for vanilla essence on a 1:1 basis (e.g 1tsp of vanilla extract is equal to 1tsp vanilla essence), on a strength-for-strength basis at least.

What is the difference between imitation vanilla and vanilla extract as it pertains to recipes?
There is no quantitative difference. They can be substituted on a one-to-one basis. Imitation vanilla is manufactured either from clove oil (eugenol) or as a breakdown product of lignin from a conifer (e.g., spruce, Picea). Pure vanilla chemically has over 200 elemental chemicals that give it its taste and smell, and it is impossible to mimic this 100% today. The main compound that gives real vanilla its taste is called vanillin. Madagascan vanilla has 3 times as much vanillin concentration (and therefore taste) compared to its nearest competition the Mexican Bourbon variety, and this is why it has such a reputation.
