Simple Apple Compote

Ingredients

• 2 cups (240g) diced apple (peeled and cores removed)
• 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice (the juice of half a lemon)
• 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2-3 tablespoons water (if needed)

Instructions

1. 1

   Add the apple, lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a medium saucepan set over medium heat.

2. 2

   Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are fork tender– about 15 minutes. If the mixture begins to scorch on the bottom, turn the heat to low and add a few tablespoons of water. We don’t want to burn the apples!

3. 3

   When the apples are your desired doneness, remove the pan from the heat and allow it to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container.
