How to Make Apple Pear Compote

  1. In a large saucepan, combine the apple cider (or white wine), honey, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add the diced Granny Smith apple to the saucepan.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the liquid is reduced by about half.
  5. Stir in the diced McIntosh apples and pears.
  6. Continue to simmer over medium-low heat for another 10-15 minutes, or until the fruit is tender and the liquid has thickened into a syrupy consistency. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  7. Remove from heat and let cool slightly before serving.
  8. Top with whipped cream or Greek yogurt (optional) and enjoy your delicious apple pear compote!
