Ingredients overview

800 g apples
100 g granulated sugar
1 teaspoon lemon juice, zest from ½ lemon and 1 lemon slice
5 pcs cloves
2 whole cinnamon sticks
2 star anise

Peel the apples, cut them into eighths, and remove the cores. Place them in a saucepan, drizzle with lemon juice, and pour in 700 ml of water. Add sugar, cinnamon, star anise, cloves, lemon zest, and a lemon slice. Cook over low heat for approximately 20 minutes, until the apples are soft. Serve the compote preferably still warm.

Chef's tip

Use only the yellow part of the lemon peel, the white part is bitter. The apples must be soft, not overcooked. Thanks to the lemon juice, the apples will not brown.
