Apple Cranberry Compote


Ingredients:

8 medium apples - Rome, Braeburn or Granny Smith cored, peeled and diced
1/4 C dried cranberries
3/4 C packed brown sugar
4 Tbsp unsalted, sweet cream butter (do not substitute with margarine)
1/C apple juice or apple cider.
1/4 Tsp cinnamon
1/4 Tsp ground cardamom
1/4 Tsp allspice a pinch of black pepper


Directions:

Melt half of the butter in a cast iron skillet over a medium heat until it just starts to foam. Add diced apples and stir until well coated and then add in the brown sugar. Stir until the brown sugar has begun to melt, add the rest of the butter and the spices. Add about two-thirds of the apple juice and reduce heat to a simmer. Stir about 10 to 15 minutes until the apples are fork tender. If the sauce is a little thick, use the rest of the apple juice to thin slightly.

Serve with French toast, Belgian waffles or pancakes.
