The other day, Kerri from The Maven of Social Media made
. She gave a sneak peek of the picture and I of course started foaming at the mouth!

Danielle at Simmworks Family Blog shared with me her
and I decided that since I was craving apples, I would try my hand at an apple compote (and round out our fruit selection!)

So here is my apple compote recipe!

Ingredients:

4 large red apples

3/4 cups brown sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

3 tablespoons lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Directions:

Peel the apples and cut into smaller pieces.

Once they are cut, toss them into a big enough pot that it will hold the apples, but still allow room to stir them up.

Add in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice.

Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally.

Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for about 5 minutes or until the apples are the right texture. I like mine a little softer so we did ours a little longer.

Remove from the heat and add in vanilla.

We served ours over pancakes, but they would taste good on just about anything. I think I’ll try vanilla ice cream next!
