apple compote
Also known as: Compote de pomme, allégée en sucres, rayon ambiant, Compote de pomme, préemballée, compote de pommes, compote de pommes allégée en sucres

About apple compote
Apple compote is a chunky stewed-fruit preparation rather than a smooth purée. This profile follows Sunny Anderson's concise citrus-spiced version with Honeycrisp apples, brown sugar and nutmeg.
Tart-sweet apple is deepened by dark brown sugar and fresh nutmeg, while orange and lemon juices keep the syrup bright and lightly tangy.
The apple pieces stay visibly intact and tender in a glossy amber syrup, giving the compote a spoonable, softly chunky texture distinct from applesauce.
