Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium apples
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 cup water
- 0.25 cup sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel, core, and roughly chop the apples into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, lemon juice, and water.
Heat the mixture over medium heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Once simmering, add the sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the saucepan.
Stir well to combine all ingredients and continue to cook over medium-low heat.
Cover the saucepan with a lid, leaving a small gap for steam to escape, and allow the compote to cook for approximately 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Continue cooking until the apples are tender and start to break down, but still retain some shape.
If the mixture becomes too thick, add a little more water to reach your desired consistency.
Once the apples are cooked to your liking, remove the saucepan from heat.
Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving warm or transferring to a container. It can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
