Applesauce Compote, an Easy and Delicious Classic Recipe

Put 300 ml of water and 150 g of sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil until the sugar gradually dissolves.

Let it boil for a couple of minutes until a very light syrup forms.

Meanwhile, wash, peel and core 3 apples.

Cut the apples into pieces and add the 3 chopped apples to the pot once the syrup is ready and still gently bubbling.

Add 1 cinnamon stick, cover the pot, lower the heat and cook for about 30 minutes.

The cooking time depends on the apple variety and the size of the pieces.

Remove from the heat and serve the compote warm or as an accompaniment to ice cream.

If you don't like cinnamon, you can use a vanilla bean or leave it out.
