Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Apples
- 1 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small chunks.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the chopped apples and water.
Add the lemon juice and salt to the saucepan and stir to mix the ingredients.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a bubble.
Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the apples simmer gently.
Stir the apples occasionally and cook for about 20 minutes, until the apples are soft and beginning to break down.
Add the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract to the mixture and stir to integrate.
Continue to cook uncovered for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the liquid to reduce slightly.
Use a potato masher or fork to mash the apples to your desired consistency, either smooth or with some chunks.
Remove from heat and let cool before transferring the compote to a storage container.
Serve warm or chilled as a topping or accompaniment. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
