Ingredients Needed:

• 6 medium Granny Smith apples
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice or orange juice
• 1 cup water
• 1 vanilla bean
• 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar or maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• ½ teaspoon ground ginger
• 1 teaspoon ground cardamom

How To Make Apple Compote Recipe?

1. Prepare the Apples: Peel and core the apples, then cut them into ½-inch pieces.
2. Prepare the Vanilla Bean: Split the vanilla bean in half and scrape out the seeds.
3. Cook the Apples: In a saucepan over medium heat, add the diced apples, lemon juice (or orange juice), and water. Bring to a boil.
4. Mash the Apples: After 5 minutes, use a potato masher or fork to lightly mash the apples. This will give it more texture than applesauce.
5. Add the Spices: Stir in the brown sugar (or maple syrup), vanilla seeds, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cardamom.
6. Simmer: Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and mashing the fruit further if needed.
7. Cool the Compote: Turn off the heat and allow the compote to cool until warm or at room temperature.
8. Serve or Store: Use the compote immediately or transfer it to an airtight container, like a jar with a lid, and store it in the refrigerator.

Recipe Tips:

• Use firm Granny Smith apples: They hold their shape and provide a nice tart flavor that works well in compotes.
• Mash lightly: For a chunkier texture, mash the apples gently with a fork or potato masher, leaving some pieces intact.
• Adjust sweetness: Taste and add more sugar or maple syrup to suit your preference for sweetness.
• Let it cool before storing: Allow the compote to cool to room temperature to prevent condensation when storing in the fridge.
• Add extra spices: Experiment with adding cloves, allspice, or nutmeg for a unique twist on the flavor.

How To Store & Reheat Leftovers?

• Refrigerate: Allow the Apple Compote to cool to room temperature first, then store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
• Freeze: You can freeze the Apple Compote for up to 3 months.
• Reheat: Warm the compote in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
