RECIPE: EASY PEASY APPLE COMPOTE

November 8, 2020Food & Drinks, Lifestyle

A super basic yet for me one of the most heartwarming fall staples, my mother and grandmother would always make some apple compote during this cozy season. Whilst both used the same simple recipe, they would serve it very differently, my grandmother would simply serve the compote with a generous spoonful of freshly whipped cream kind of like a dessert and my mother would have it ready in the fridge to top our breakfast yoghurt with. I think this might be one of the very first things I’ve made in the kitchen!

My mother always said that the best apples to make compote with are the ones that are old and about to go bad. It really is a waste to use fresh and crunchy apples for this so I really recommend using up your left over apples from the week. I found that  staler the apples, the more natural sweetness and softness there is to the compote  and that it really absorbs all the flavors. Scroll down for the recipe sheet!
