Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Apples
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 cup Water
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Peel and core the apples, then chop them into small cubes.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, maple syrup, lemon juice, water, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the apples are soft and tender.
Remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes to allow some of the liquid to evaporate, stirring frequently.
Mash the apples with a fork or potato masher if a smoother texture is desired, or leave it chunky for more texture.
Stir in the vanilla extract and cook for another minute.
Remove from heat and let the compote cool slightly before serving.
Store any leftover compote in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
