Are you ready for apple season?
I know I am!
And what better way to kick off the season than with a classic dessert with a twist?
Meet my sweet and tangy apple compote. It’s served with a raw and delicious cream made thick with the help of juicy organic lemons.
It’s a simple and easy dessert, perfect anytime, anyplace.
The recipe is super easy to make; all you need are apples and lemons.
You can use any kind of apples you like. However, I recommend using a sweet variety to avoid the need for added sugar.
All you have to do is chop up your apples, add a little water and cook them until they are soft and tender.
For the cream, all you need is some lemons and a little sugar.
The best part about this dessert is that you can make a big batch and store it in the fridge or freezer. You can have a quick and easy dessert whenever you want.
It’s also a great way to use up any extra apples you might have lying around.
So the next time you’re out picking apples: Grab a few extra to make this delicious compote.
Enjoy!

Instructions

- Make the lemon cream by stirring all the ingredients together in a bowl and set a side for 30 min in the fridge. The lemon will slowly thicken up the cream and you don’t need to whisk it thick.
