Quick Summary

A simple, stovetop simmer of fresh apples, warm spices, and a hint of natural sweetness. This compote is vegan, gluten-free, and prepares easily in one pan.

Ingredients

4 large Honeycrisp apples, diced
1/4 cup water or apple cider
1 tbsp maple syrup
1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 tsp lemon juice
Pinch of sea salt

Method

1. Combine the diced apples, water, maple syrup, spices, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
2. Cover and simmer for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender but hold their shape.
3. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice to brighten the flavors. Serve warm.

Stewart's Secret: For a deeper, more complex flavor, toast your spices in the dry pan for 30 seconds before adding the apples. It wakes up the natural oils and creates a much richer fragrance.
