A traditional apple compote gently simmered with cloves and cinnamon and served cold. A favorite for winter meals and anyone looking for a light dessert after dinner, this classic highlights the fruit’s natural sweetness.
Put the coarsely chopped apples and water in a saucepan. Add the cloves and cinnamon stick. Simmer over medium heat until the apples are tender but still firm.
Add the sugar and cook for a few more minutes. Once it has dissolved completely, turn off the heat. Let the compote cool to room temperature, then chill it in the refrigerator. Remove the spices and serve cold.
Important: Do not overcook the apples; remove them from the heat while they are still firm so they do not fall apart. Chilling the compote thoroughly before serving balances the flavors. It keeps for a few days in a covered container in the refrigerator.
