Rustic Maple Apple Compote

Maple syrup and Vermont apples are a classically delicious combination. This recipe combines the two to create a chunky, rustic compote. It’s delicious on its own or serve with ice cream, yogurt and a sprinkle of granola or as a side with savory dishes. You can choose to peel the apples or cook unpeeled. Either way is delicious!

2 pounds apples, cored and cut into chunks

1/3 cup Couching Lion Maple Syrup

1/2 tablespoon ground cinnamon

juice of half a lemon

Combine all ingredients in a sauce pan. Cover and cook on high until boiling. Reduce heat to a simmer and keep covered. The apples will be steamed by the small amount of liquid within 6 or 7 minutes. Stir and mash apples to desired consistency.
