Apricot Apple Compote

SUBMITTED BY: Suzan Wiener

"You won't have to skip dessert when this comforting compote is on the menu. 'I asked a friend of mine how she could eat dessert and still stay thin, and she handed me this recipe,' shares Suzan Wiener of Spring Hill, Florida. A touch of cinnamon and lemon accents the fruit flavor...and the dish is a snap to make."

This was an excellent twist on the stewed apples I'm used to making. Delicious! I used a mixture of Granny Smith and Gala apples and doubled the recipe -- my family ate it for dessert and breakfast the next morning! I also only used two teaspoons of sugar instead of the two tablespoons it called for, just because I don't like really sweet applesauce. Thanks for the idea!
