In a large frying pan add apples, brown sugar and cinnamon, mix in.
3 cups apples, 1 Tbsp. brown sugar, 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
Add 2 tablespoons of water, mix in. Cook on low-medium heat covered for 3-5 minutes. If apples will become dry add extra 2 tablespoons of water. Cook additional 5 minutes, until apples will become soft but still chunky.
2-4 Tbsp. water

The sweetness of your apple condiment depends on the natural sweetness of the apples you choose. Some apple varieties, like Fuji or Gala, are naturally sweeter, while others, such as Granny Smith, are more tart. Taste the compote as it cooks, and if you find it is not sweet enough for your liking, you can add more sugar. Start by adding a little at a time, allowing it to dissolve and blend, and then taste again before adding more.

Apples vary in texture after cooking. If you prefer a smoother compote where the apples break down completely, choose varieties like McIntosh or Cortland. These apples tend to soften and become more homogenous during the cooking process. If you enjoy a chunkier texture with pieces of apple still intact, opt for firmer varieties like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp. These apples hold their shape better during cooking, providing a more textured and visually appealing compote.
