Ingredients
  

  • 4 apples
  • 30 g sugar
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • ½ tsp vanilla paste
  • ½ dl water

Instructions
 

  • Wash the apples and remove the cores. Cut the apples into approximately 1x1 cm cubes.
    4 apples
  • Place the apples in a saucepan along with the sugar, cinnamon stick, vanilla paste, and water. Bring it to a boil.
    30 g sugar, 1 cinnamon stick, ½ tsp vanilla paste, ½ dl water
  • Cover with a lid and let the compote simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally. The cooking time depends on the type of apples you've used and the desired consistency of your apple compote. I simmer it for 20-30 minutes, achieving a moderately chunky compote. If you want it more cooked down, simply simmer it for a longer duration.
  • Store the finished compote in a jar in the refrigerator and serve it on top of porridge, bread, or with meat dishes, for example.
