Apple Berry Compote
Making compote is a great way to use up those not so fabulous looking apples kicking around the fruit bowl and turn them into something you will look forward to eating. Adding frozen berries is an affordable way to mix the flavours and add nutrient-dense antioxidants.
This compote is full of flavour, fibre, prebiotics and antioxidants; a dessert or breakfast with benefits that taste great without adding sugar. A gentle and restorative food that supports recovery and is an excellent new food to introduce to young children.

Chef tips + Ingredient Swaps + Ideas
ADD SPICES = adding flavour + health benefits using sweet spices like cinnamon, mace, allspice, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, vanilla, fennel.
SWAP | ADD fruits like pears, plums, peaches, apricots, single berries or a mix of whatever you have.
THICKEN by adding 2-4 tbsp chia seeds or ground flax seeds once the compote cools to room temperature. This will thicken the compote into a jam-like consistency and add cleansing digestive and hormone-balancing nutrients.
KEEP THE PEELS and make your own Apple Cider Vinegar.
