Tis the season for harvesting crisp, juicy, flavorful, organic apples — and incorporating them into almost everything. I love having this simple compote recipe on hand to use in fillings in my cakes — or to add to granola, oatmeal or chia pudding. It’s great on pancakes or French toast — or by the spoonful on its own as a yummy snack.
