Apple Compote Recipes

Compotes

 
Apple Compote 1
Ingredients:
1 cup sugar (more or less, depending on taste)
1/2 cup water
4 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples
Cooking Instructions:
Bring the sugar and water to a boil over high heat. Simmer for 5 minutes. This dissolves the sugar and makes a syrup. Add the fruit and continue to cook for about 5 to 10 minutes, until just tender. Remove the fruit from the juice and set aside. Reduce the juice over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, until it becomes syrupy. Pour the reduced syrup over the cooked fruit. Serve warm. For safekeeping: Cool the compote. Refrigerate up to 5 days.
Apple Compote 2
Ingredients:
100 g/3½ oz unsalted butter
750 g/1lb 10 oz Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
100 g/3½ oz caster sugar
1 vanilla pod split
Cooking Instructions:
Place the butter in a stainless steel saucepan and start to melt. Add the apples, sugar and vanilla pod. Cook out the apple to a compote, stirring from time to time for approximately 30 minutes on a moderate heat. If the texture is too runny then leave to reduce until you have a thick texture. Remove the vanilla pod, and reserve for use later. Place the apple compote into a blender, blend to a fine pulp and pass through a fine sieve. Serve.
Apple Compote 3
Ingredients:
6 Ripe Apples
285 ml (½ pint) Water
225 g (8 oz) Sugar
1 Lemon
Green Angelica or Candied Citron
Cooking Instructions:
Select the apples of a moderate size, peel, core and cut into halves, rub each piece with a little lemon. Put the sugar and water into a saucepan and boil until it forms a thickish syrup. Then add the thinly cut lemon rind and juice. Add the apples and allow to simmer until tender. Remove them very carefully, drain on a sieve and reduce the syrup by boiling it quickly for a few minutes. When both are cold, arrange the apples neatly on a glass dish, pour over the syrup and garnish with strips of green angelica or candied citron. Smaller apples may be dressed in the same manner, they should not be divided in half, but peeled and the cores pushed out with a vegetable cutter.
Apple Compote 4
Ingredients:

2 cups water
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split in half
1 tablespoon Calvados or brandy
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch salt
8 large Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and cubed
Cooking Instructions:
In a large saucepan, combine the water, sugar, vanilla bean and seeds, Calvados, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and salt and bring to a boil. Boil gently until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the apples and return to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the apples are very tender and the mixture thickens, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and remove the vanilla bean pods. Let cool to room temperature before serving.
 
Apple Compote 5
Ingredients:
3 medium apples
Lemon or orange juice to coat the apples
1 stick unsalted butter
¼ cup pure maple syrup
2 full sprigs fresh thyme
1 cinnamon stick
Pinch of salt
1 vanilla bean
Cooking Instructions:
Dice the apples into approximately ½-by-½ inch pieces. Toss the apples with a little lemon or orange juice to prevent discoloration. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside. Melt the butter and maple syrup together in a large sauté pan over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add the thyme, cinnamon stick and salt. Split the vanilla bean down the center lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Add both the vanilla bean and seeds to the butter mixture. Stir to incorporate everything. Simmer together for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. The mixture should not bubble. Remove the thyme, vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. Increase the heat to medium-low and add the apples. Stir to coat them with the butter, then cover and cook until the apples are tender, approximately 10 minutes, depending on the variety of apple. Remove from the heat and place the apples in a container to cool. These can also be made one day in advance. Allow to cool to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator.
