Ingredients
- 8 medium apples
- 1 cup water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 to taste sweetener of choice (such as stevia or a small amount of sugar)
Directions
Step 1
1. Peel, core, and slice the apples into small chunks to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2
2. In a large saucepan, combine the apple chunks with water and lemon juice. This prevents the apples from browning and adds a subtle tang.
Step 3
3. Add the cinnamon stick into the saucepan for added flavor.
Step 4
4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 20-25 minutes, occasionally stirring until the apples are very tender and break apart easily.
Step 5
5. Remove the cinnamon stick from the saucepan.
Step 6
6. Use a potato masher or fork to mash the apples to your desired consistency. For a smoother compote, you may use an immersion blender if you prefer.
Step 7
7. Stir in the vanilla extract and sweetener to taste. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference using your chosen sweetener.
Step 8
8. Allow the compote to cool slightly before serving, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Step 9
9. Serve warm or chilled over yogurt, pancakes, oatmeal, or simply enjoy as is.
