Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 medium Apples (preferably a mix of varieties like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
- 0.5 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Peel, core, and roughly chop the apples into small chunks, ensuring they are of similar size for even cooking.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, and lemon juice. Stir to coat the apples evenly with the liquid.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pan with a lid but leave it slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
Cook the apples for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and begin to break down.
Add the honey, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the pan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Continue to cook for an additional 10 minutes, uncovered, allowing the compote to thicken and the flavors to meld.
Once the compote reaches a desired consistency, remove it from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the Low Sodium Compote de Pomme warm or at room temperature, as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or simply enjoy it on its own.
