Autumn Scents - Apple Compote

After the walk in Wassenaar and the taste of pancake with cheese and apple compote, I fall in love with apples once again.

I made this last week a day before our long weekend at Spa, Belgium...

The key ingredients - apple,cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon...


30 min of baking in the oven, the aroma of cinnamon and nutmeg is flourishing and fill our home
We didn't eat it on the day the compote was made.
On the morning of our departure to Spa, I add Kraft cheddar cheese to the compote and then cover it with a puffy crust pastry...

The outcome is quite satisfactory, though the cheese is not salty enough to bring out the natural sweetness of the apple. Still it is not bad for the first try.

I will make apple compote again, since apple is all around and cheap in the autumn season. We have 2 granny smith green apple sitting on the table, which is too sour to eat as they are. These will soon turn into apple compote, but a soft and stew base version that can easily goes with yogurt, or even with cold cut at lunch.
