Time 35m

Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, each cut into 8 wedges
2 ripe peaches, each cut into 8 wedges
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup apple cider
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Toss apples, peaches, sugar, cardamom, cinnamon, ginger, and salt in a medium bowl. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium-high. Once butter is melted, add fruit mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until fruit is golden brown and caramelized, 5-7 minutes.
  • Add cider to skillet, reduce heat to low, and bring to a simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally and adding splashes of water if liquid reduces too quickly, until juices are syrupy and fruit is tender, 15-20 minutes. Let cool slightly, then stir in lemon juice.
  • Compote can be made 3 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill. Gently reheat before serving, if desired.
