Ingredients :
- 4 apples (Golden Delicious or Fuji type, they hold up well during cooking)
- 50 g of sugar
- 30g of butter
- 1 teaspoon of cinnamon (optional, for a spicy touch)
- 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
- 50 ml of water
Preparation :
- Peel and chop the apples.
Start by peeling the apples, removing the core, and chopping them into small pieces. The smaller the pieces, the faster they will cook. - Caramelize the apples
. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sugar and let it melt gently until it turns a golden caramel. Be careful not to let it get too dark, or it will become bitter. Then add the apple pieces and stir well so they are coated in caramel. - Cooking the Apples:
Let the apples cook in the caramel for about 10 minutes over low heat, stirring occasionally. The apples will begin to soften and absorb the caramel. Then add the water and lemon juice, and continue cooking until the apples are very tender and the liquid has reduced slightly. If you are using cinnamon, add it now to flavor your compote. - Blending (optional):
If you prefer a very smooth compote, you can use a blender or food processor for a finer texture. Otherwise, you can leave it as is with small pieces of caramelized apple for added texture. - Let it cool.
Once the compote is ready, let it cool before using it. It keeps very well in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.
