Instructions

In a medium non-reactive pan saucepan (stainless steel, glass, or ceramic), combine the apples, brown sugar and lemon juice over medium heat.

Remove from heat and stir in salt. Set aside and allow to cool.

Notes

One serving = 3 tablespoons of compote. This recipe makes 3 cups total.

Storage

It will keep in an airtight container in your fridge for up to 2 weeks. Because we are not taking it through the canning process, it is not pantry stable. It will have to be stored in the refrigerator.

You can also freeze it. Allow it to cool completely. Place it in a mason jar with a lid and allow a 1 inch gap at the top for expansion. Tightly seal the lid and place it in your freezer. It will keep in your freezer for up to 3 months. When you're ready to use it, thaw it in your refrigerator.
