Ingredients

3 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
Add diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to coat.
Pour in water and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft but still hold their shape.
Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature over latkes.

Tips

Can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 5 days; reheat gently before serving.
For a chunkier compote, cook for less time; for a saucier texture, mash some apples with a fork.
Substitute pears or a mix of apples and pears for variation.
