A delicious, healthy, and easy way of completing the meal. I make sure I always have some compote either in the refrigerator or in the freezer.

Ingredients

10 apples 1.8 kg
1 1/2 cup water, approximately 375 mL
1/3 cup sugar [optional] 70 g

Before you start

A food mill will be very useful to purée the apples, without having to peel them first.

Method

  1. Cut the apples into quarters without peeling them. Put them in a saucepan.
  2. Pour about 1-2 cm of water in the bottom of the saucepan and add sugar (optional). Cover and cook over low heat about 10 min, until the apples are softened completely.
  3. Purée the apples using a food mill. Let the purée cool down and serve cold or at room temperature.

Observations

The compote keeps up to 10 days in the refrigerator or up to 4 months in the freezer.

Super easy and way better than store bought! Great way to use all those cheap autumn apples. Its so fast using a vegetable mill and not having to peel away all those skins! I added a cinnamon stick, split in two (much prefer it to ground cinnamon). I cut the sugar by half and still found it too sweet - next time I'll only use a quarter or none at all.

It's applesauce. It's as good as the apples that go into it! The ones I chose this time (Fuji) turned out kindof bland, so I'll try another type of apple next time.

I found MacIntosh apples worked better than Honey Crisp. The Honey Crisp took a lot longer to work. Courtland apples would also probably work well. I didn't use much sugar at all.
