Apple compote is what the French call applesauce. It is utterly simple to make, but freshly made it is several cuts above storebought. Serve it warm, for a comforting dessert, topped with a dollop of crème fraiche if you like. Or use it as a filling for crêpes

Steps:
- Place apples and water in a heavy saucepan and stir over medium-high heat until the mixture is bubbling. Reduce heat to low and cover. Cook, stirring often, until the apples have cooked down but still have some texture, 15 to 20 minutes. Add sugar, lemon or lime juice, and spices, cover and simmer for another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool, or serve warm or hot.
