Method
- Put all the ingredients in a saucepan with 50ml water. Bring to a simmer over a low heat and cook, covered, for 45 mins until the apples have begun to break down.
- Remove the lid and stir well to break down any remaining chunks of fruit.
- Make this up to 3 days in advance, to give the flavours a chance to develop. Serve warm or cold with granola and yogurt, if you like. Any remaining compote will keep, chilled, for a week.
