How to cook apple compote in a saucepan or slow cooker

Apple compote is a quickly made vitamin drink that can be served immediately or canned for the winter. It is suitable for adults and children's tables. If you don’t yet understand how to cook apple compote, try one of the usual recipes - and you will understand that nothing is simpler.

Preparation time

It is clear that there are many methods for cooking compote. Cooking time depends on what ingredients are used and on the manufacturing method:

a drink according to a quick recipe for everyday consumption is brought to a boil, turned off and left for 20 minutes;
According to the traditional recipe, soft apples are boiled for 5–10 minutes;
a traditional drink made from hard types is brewed for 10–20 minutes;
to twist, boil for 20–40 minutes, then leave for 10–20 minutes;
dried fruits are boiled for 15 minutes, and then left for 12 hours;
from frozen fruits, boil for 15 minutes, and then infuse for a couple of hours.

General Tips

Compote prepared according to the recipe does not consistently produce the usual level of sweetness. If you want to get the drink to your own taste, add sugar before serving. The zest of sweet apple compote can be highlighted by pouring lemon juice or a solution of citric acid into it during cooking.

To prevent apple slices from spreading while boiling, they must be cooked correctly. Place the fruit in boiling water and cook over low heat with virtually no boiling.

The longer the compote is infused in the container in which it was prepared, the more intense the taste will be. You can always add amazing colors to it with cinnamon and vanilla.

In a saucepan

To get a perfect apple compote, use dishes that do not interact with fruit acids. An enameled, Teflon or stainless steel pan is suitable.

Traditional recipe

The following ingredients will be useful:

apples – 500 g;
sugar – 1 glass;
water – 2 l.

Cut the fruit into 6-8 pieces, remove the core and seeds.

Cook the fruits until tender (soft – 10 minutes, hard – 20 minutes).
Turn off the heat, cover the compote with a lid, and set aside until cool.

Vitamin recipe

If you use homemade apples, try a compote without boiling, which will retain the maximum vitamins.

apples – 700 g;
sugar – 0.5 tbsp;
water – 1.5 l.

Select the hard greenish fruits, wash, remove the core, and cut into thin slices.
Fill the slices with cool water, put on fire, add sugar.
While constantly stirring, bring the drink to a boil and turn off.
Leave covered for 20 minutes, serve chilled.

In a slow cooker

To cook apple compote in a slow cooker, you can use any traditional recipe. For example, prepare a workpiece for twisting.

apples – 700 g;
sugar – 0.5 tbsp;
water – 1.5 l.

Peel the fruit, remove the core, cut into slices, and place in a slow cooker.
Pour in sugar and pour preheated boiling water over it.

After the signal, leave the drink to steep in heating mode for 20 minutes.
Pour into sterilized jars and seal.

Reduce heat, add sugar. Cook for 15 minutes, then remove from heat.
Cool the finished drink at room temperature and strain.

With dried fruits

The longer the dried fruit compote is infused, the more juicy and fragrant it becomes. Therefore, it is best to cook it in the evening and serve it in the morning.

dried apples – 2 tbsp;
water – 3 l;
raisins – 1 tbsp. l.;
cinnamon – 1 tbsp. l.;
sugar – 1 tbsp. or to taste.

Wash the dried fruits and discard in a colander.
Pour clean water into a saucepan, add apples and raisins, and bring to a boil over low heat.

Infuse the drink in a saucepan for 12 hours, strain.

With rhubarb

Rhubarb imparts a subtle sour flavor to apple compote.

apples – 800 g;
water – 3 l;
rhubarb – 120 g;
mint – 10 leaves;
sugar – 70 g.

Wash the fruit, rhubarb and mint. Remove the core from the fruit, cut into slices, cut the rhubarb into pieces.
Combine all ingredients in a saucepan, add water, and bring to a boil.
Add sugar and cook for 10 minutes over low heat, covered.

Secrets of making apple compote

The dishes in which apple compote is cooked should not oxidize. The best option is enameled, Teflon or stainless steel.
If the fruits are sweet, you can cook compote without adding sugar.
You can not add sugar at all during production, but create it just before serving. This makes it even easier to control the sweetness. Instead of sugar, you can also use honey.
If the fruits are sweet, then to obtain the most striking taste during cooking, add a few slices of lemon or a little citric acid.
Unripe greenish apples will make compote either completely tasteless or sour. To somehow give it some taste, add other fruits or berries: raspberries, cherries, apricots, etc.
It is necessary to cook the compote from new apples quickly so that they do not boil over. 3-4 minutes after boiling for early types, and for late winter ones - 7-10 minutes.
To prevent the slices from overcooking, they must be immersed in boiling water and cooked over very low heat, so that there is virtually no boiling.
The finished compote must be allowed to brew for at least 20-30 minutes in the container in which it was prepared. As a rule, leave it there until it cools completely, then the taste will be very rich.

How to cook apple compote for the winter

For the winter, it is best to cover the apples completely. The fact is that early varieties of apples are very soft, so there is a risk that the pieces will simply spread out in the jar. It is best to select small, dense fruits of similar size and use jars with a capacity of 2-3 liters.
You can roll up apples alone or add other fruits and berries to them.
In order for the jars to literally last all winter, you need to add citric acid to the compote, especially from sweet varieties.
You can preserve apples using the double hot pouring method, or simply pour the prepared hot compote into sterile jars and roll them up right away.

Almost everyone is interested in whether it is possible to make compote for a child from unripe apples. This is not worth doing, because the highest level of acid can harm the delicate gastrointestinal tract (the gastrointestinal tract is the digestive system of the organs of real multicellular animals, designed to process and extract nutrients from food) of the baby. For this reason, we should not use very sour ripe fruits.

Recipe for apple compote in a saucepan

The fragrant sweet drink perfectly relieves thirst and refreshes in the summer. In winter, it reminds you of warm days and provides you with the vitamins you need at this time. There are many tricks for making apple compote that only experienced housewives know about. For example, there is no need to remove the skin from fruits, because it contains the largest amount of necessary substances. Before you cook apple compote in a saucepan, you should know which utensils are best to use. It is believed that it is better to take enamel dishes, because aluminum or stainless steel containers spoil the taste.

How to cook apple compote correctly

How long to cook the compote, what you can add, whether you should let the drink brew - all this is of interest to young housewives. To get a rich taste, leaving a huge part of the vitamins contained in the fruits intact, you should boil them for no longer than 15 minutes. Focus on the size of the apples and their number. In addition, any other fruits or berries can be added to the compote: plums, raspberries, pears, apricots. You can add a few orange slices to the winter compote. To prepare a delicious drink, you need to take into account a number of rules:

The fruits are brought to a low boil (the compote with apples is cooked over low heat). This allows you to preserve their useful characteristics.
The pieces must be of uniform size for simultaneous production.
The drink is served chilled and strained (all ingredients are removed from the container in advance).

From new

The fundamental point in making apple compote is to avoid overcooking. The pieces must retain their shape and vitamin composition. The duration of cooking, not counting the size and quantity of fruit, depends on the type of fruit. For example, if you are using mature Antonovka, then you just need to bring the water to a boil and remove from the heat. It is better to boil Simirenka or Melba for 5-8 minutes.

apples (any variety to choose from, including paradise apples) – 1 kg;
sugar – 1.5 tbsp;
purified water – 3 l.

How to cook compote from new apples in a saucepan:

Wash, cut the fruit into pieces, remove the core.
Fill a saucepan with water, place on heat, and bring to a boil.
Add 1.5 cups of sugar and prepared ingredients to the pan. You can combine virtually any other fruit in the brew. For example, a decoction of apples and pears turns out to be very tasty.
When the water boils again, set aside for 10-15 minutes, then remove the pan from the heat.
Cover the pan and let the drink steep for 3-5 hours.
The prepared broth can be preserved to provide a tasty and healthy preparation for the winter.

From dried

It is better to cook dried fruit compote 12 hours before serving, so that it has time to brew and become rich. This will fully reveal the smell and taste. Usually, sugar is not used to make the broth, since dried fruits already give off a lot of sweetness to the water. Boil the drink for 12-20 minutes, having previously soaked the dry fruits in cool water. To give the brew a piquant and solemn smell, you can season it with cinnamon or citrus zest.

dried apples – up to 2 tbsp;
sugar (to taste);
water – 3000 ml;
raisins – 1 tbsp;
cinnamon - tsp.

The usual recipe for making a brew:

Carefully wash the ingredients, draining the dried fruits in a colander.
Fill the pan with water, add dried fruits and place on low heat.
After 15 minutes, add cinnamon and turn off the burner.
When the broth is infused (12 hours), strain. Serve.

From frozen

Some thrifty housewives fill the freezer with vegetables and fruits in the summer so that they can prepare their favorite dishes in the winter. If you have frozen apples, you can quickly create compote or jelly with them. The first one is equally tasty when served cool or hot. If served warm, it will become a non-alcoholic substitute for classic mulled wine.

frozen apples – 200 g;
other frozen fruits – 300 g;
sugar – 3-4 tbsp;
cloves or cinnamon.

How to brew a frozen fruit drink in a saucepan:

Wash and dry the fruits.
Place them in a pan filled with clean water.
When the liquid boils, reduce the heat and cook the ingredients for another 10 minutes.
The fruits will become soft, then it’s worth seasoning the non-alcoholic mulled wine with cinnamon/cloves.
After 5 minutes, add sugar and let the drink brew for a couple of hours.
