Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 lbs apples (6 cups peeled & chopped)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Add cored, peeled, and chopped apples, brown sugar, spices, salt, lemon juice, vanilla extract, and water to a heavy-bottomed pot.
- Cook over low-medium heat for 15 minutes or until apples are tender but still hold their shape.
Notes
- Combining sweet and tart apple varieties gives the best balance of flavor and texture.
- Dice apples into uniform pieces so they cook at the same rate.
- Layer the flavors. A splash of lemon juice brightens the flavor, while a dash of vanilla, cardamom, and nutmeg gives the compote extra depth.
- Store compote in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
