Ingredients
- 6 medium-sized apples
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 cup water
- 1 piece cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon optional: ground cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and dice the apples into roughly 1-inch cubes.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, water, and the cinnamon stick.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat, and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer while stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Allow the apples to cook for 20-25 minutes, or until they become tender and soft, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Remove the cinnamon stick from the saucepan.
Step 6
Stir in the vanilla extract. If you enjoy a spicier compote, add the optional ground cinnamon.
Step 7
Mash the apples slightly with a wooden spoon or a potato masher if you prefer a smoother consistency, or leave them chunky for more texture.
Step 8
Allow the compote to cool for a few minutes before serving warm, or refrigerate and serve cold as desired.
