Preparation
- Step 1
Place the apples in a saucepan with the sugar (if using). With a very sharp knife, remove the rind from the lemon (avoiding the bitter pith). Then mince the rind and add it to the saucepan. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the saucepan, add the vanilla bean, cover, and cook over medium heat for half an hour. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a tablespoon of water, but the idea is to steam the apples in their own juices. Serve with healthy hot cakes.

About half way through, my compote started to burn. Unfortunately it was salvageable at this point with a bitter, burnt, flavor. Perhaps this is due to the inclusion of the sugar, or perhaps it ought to be cooked at a lower temperature than medium. I also ruined my saucepan. I'm not happy.
