Good to know

This compote tastes like baked apples but is ready in 20 minutes instead of an hour. The apples first caramelise in butter and honey, then simmer with clove and star anise. The vanilla skyr alongside is cool and fresh.

Swaps

Skyr → Greek yoghurt (creamier) or soya yoghurt (contains soya; for a vegan version, also swap the butter for coconut oil and the honey for maple syrup). Walnuts → almonds. Raisins → chopped dates. Honey → maple syrup.

Cooking tips

Use tart apples such as Boskoop if you want the compote to fall apart softly, and Elstar if you like pieces. The compote tastes good warm or cold.

Storage

The compote keeps in a jar in the fridge for 5 days; only add the skyr and nuts just before serving.
