Preparing the Apple Compote

The most challenging part of making this apple compote is peeling, coring, and slicing the apples. Once that’s done, the rest of the process is a breeze!

Mixing the Ingredients

In a bowl, quickly mix together water, tapioca starch, fresh lemon juice, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sometimes, I like to add a pinch of sea salt for extra flavor.

Coating the Apples

Add the sliced apples to the flavored mixture and gently stir to coat them evenly.

Cooking the Compote

Transfer the coated apples into a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about five minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples begin to soften.
