Ingredients
- 4 large apples
- 0.5 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Peel, core, and chop the apples into small, evenly sized pieces.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped apples, water, lemon juice, and granulated sugar. Stir to mix thoroughly.
Step 3
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Step 4
Once simmering, reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Allow the apples to cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they become soft and begin to break down.
Step 5
Stir in the ground cinnamon and vanilla extract, mixing well to evenly distribute the spices.
Step 6
Continue to cook uncovered for an additional 5 minutes to let the compote thicken slightly and the flavors meld.
Step 7
Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly before serving or storing.
Step 8
Serve warm or chilled, as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
