Sugar-Free Apple, Cardamom and Orange Compote

This compote is a fragrant, comforting dessert or side dish. The exotic touch of cardamom and the freshness of orange turn a simple apple into a gourmet preparation. To sweeten this recipe without adding sugar, we will use Stevia 1:2, which blends perfectly into fruit cookings.

Technical Sheet

• Estimated time: 35 minutes

• Difficulty: ⭐

• Servings: 4 people

Ingredients

• 4 large apples (Reineta or Golden type)

• The juice of 1 large orange

• The zest of half an orange (without the white pith)

• 4-5 cardamom seeds

• 1 teaspoon of Stevia 1:2

• 1 cinnamon stick

• 100 ml of water

Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

1. Fruit preparation: Peel the apples, remove the core, and cut them into evenly sized cubes so they cook uniformly.

2. Flavor infusion: Split the cardamom pods open to remove the black seeds inside and crush them slightly. In a saucepan, add the water, orange juice, cinnamon stick, cardamom, and orange zest.

3. Cooking: Add the apple pieces to the saucepan. Cover and cook over low heat for about 20-25 minutes. Stir from time to time; the apple should release its own juice and soften until it can be easily broken apart with a spoon.

4. Sweetening: Once the apple is tender, remove the cinnamon stick. Add the Stevia 1:2 and mix well.

5. Final texture: If you prefer a compote with chunks, simply mash it a little with a fork. If you're looking for a smooth purée texture, remove the cinnamon stick and blend the mixture or pass it through a food mill.

6. Serving: You can serve it warm or cold, on its own or as an accompaniment to plain yogurt.
