Simple Apple Compote
/When my brother used to visit on leave from the Navy, this was one of his favorite dishes.
He would add it to homemade pancakes instead of maple syrup; pour it over store-bought vanilla ice cream and ate it hot out of the microwave.
Cut up one apple per serving. I like to use Gala, Granny or an apple with a little tartness to it.
Mix 2 tbsp equal parts sugar and cinnamon; add 2 tbsp lemon juice per apple. Mix in microwave dish.
Cook on high for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
Mix again and let cool for a couple of minutes.
It will be hot right out of the microwave.
You can also add raisins and a little lemon zest to give it extra zing. Good cold, too!
