Ingredients
Scale
Apples
- 3 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped
Other Ingredients
- 2–4 tbsp caster sugar or light brown soft sugar (adjust based on apple sweetness)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tbsp water
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Peel, core, and chop 3 apples into small pieces to ensure even cooking and a soft texture.
- Combine Ingredients: Place the chopped apples, sugar, lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon of water in a small pan. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.
- Cook Covered: Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender when pierced with a knife.
- Optional Smooth Texture: If you prefer a smoother compote, remove the lid and continue to cook for an additional 5 minutes uncovered, stirring frequently to break down the apple pieces.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of sugar depending on the natural sweetness of your apples.
- The lemon juice adds a fresh tang and helps prevent the apples from browning.
- This stewed apple can be served warm or chilled as a topping for yogurt, pancakes, or porridge.
- Use softer apples like Gala or Fuji for a sweeter, tender result; firmer apples like Granny Smith will hold their shape more.
