- 2. In a saucepan, stir together brown sugar, applesauce, and 2/3 cup reserved syrup or apple juice. Stir in raisins, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring, about 2 minutes to blend flavors. Pour sauce evenly over fruit in baking dish. Allow the raisins, cinnamon, and cloves to be scattered throughout the dish, also.

- 3. Bake the fruit compote for 25-30 minutes, until sauce is thickened and fruit is heated through. May be served hot, or allowed to cool to room temperature. For each serving, give 2-3 pieces of fruit and spoon sauce over top.
