Fragrant, moderately sweet, with a pleasant delicate sourness, apple compote is good both hot and chilled. Moreover, the drink made from dried fruit has a richer taste.

If desired, you can add orange or lemon zest, cardamom, star anise, and cinnamon to the apple compote. Spices are added to the drink during the boiling process. Then it is infused, filtered and served.

Ingredients

• dried apples – 250 g;
• granulated sugar – 5 tbsp;
• water – 2 l.

Preparation

Before cooking, sort out the dried apples and sort out the spoiled slices. Then rinse the fruits in slightly warm water. Do this with special care, especially if the drying is not homemade, but purchased in a store or market. After all, it is unknown under what conditions the fruits were dried.

Then place the dried fruits in the pan in which you will cook the compote, and fill them with drinking cold water so that the liquid completely covers the fruit slices. Leave the apples to infuse for 4-6 hours (overnight is possible).

Typically, dry fruits take longer to cook than fresh ones. How long does it take to cook dried apple compote? As you know, prolonged heat treatment destroys almost all vitamins. Therefore, to get the most healthy drink possible, just bring the apple infusion to a boil over low heat, then add sugar, and hold for 10 minutes over low heat on the stove with the lid closed.

Before use, dried fruit compote must be left to steep for at least an hour, but in general, the longer, the better. Then they will give the broth as much flavor and aroma as possible.

1. To improve the taste, you can add lemon slices, a sprig of mint or lemon balm, a cinnamon stick or vanilla sugar to the compote.
2. For variety, dried apples can be mixed with frozen or fresh fruits and berries.
3. The drink will be even healthier if you add honey instead of sugar.
4. Be sure to provide dried fruits with the correct storage conditions - in a dry cabinet (with minimal air humidity).
5. In addition to the classic recipe discussed, you can cook compote from dried apples with various additives. Good combinations would be the following:

• prunes, raisins and cinnamon;
• dried pears;
• figs, dried apricots, cloves, lemon zest, cinnamon;
• rosehip and cinnamon;
• frozen raspberries or strawberries;
• dried cherries and plums.

Benefits of dried apple compote

Dried apples are of great benefit to the human body. Even doctors who rarely recognize traditional medicine treat this product with respect and strongly recommend including dried apples in the daily diet for people suffering from vitamin deficiency, those with low hemoglobin, pregnant women and nursing mothers.

As apple slices dry, their content of indigestible fiber and pectin increases. These two components provide the body with an invaluable service. They form a jelly-like mass inside us, which concentrates all the worst that is inside a person (toxins, waste, decay products) and brings it out.

Also, dried apples increase the amount of potassium; they are a good diuretic product. The compote of their dried apples will help remove excess fluid from the body and, accordingly, reduce swelling.

I would like to warn you! Since when drying apples, water leaves them, as they dry, the amount of all useful elements per unit of specific gravity increases sharply. This is, of course, wonderful. But in the same way, the number of calories in dried apples increases many times over. 100 g of product contains about 250 kcal. Therefore, for those who are planning to go on a diet or a fasting day, dried apples are in no way suitable, and it is better to cook compote from them without sugar.

Dry apple compote for babies

Ingredients:

• dried apples – 30 g;
• water – 250 ml;
• fructose.

Preparation

Ideally, apples need those that have been dried in the oven. First soak them in warm water, and when they swell, rinse them thoroughly. After this, pour in boiling water and cook the compote for about 15 minutes over low heat. Then cover it with a lid and let it brew. Next, strain the compote through a strainer and, if necessary, sweeten it with fructose, which can be purchased at any pharmacy. Using fructose for babies is preferable to using sugar. In general, it is better to give children compote without sweeteners - the child will quite like the taste of a natural product, and the sweetness that is in apples will be quite enough.

Dried apple compote can be prepared without sugar. This is good news - it can be drunk by both those losing weight and people suffering from diabetes. A fragrant compote can easily replace harmful and expensive juices and soda from the store. And if you have one, it is not necessary to roll up apple compote for the winter. At any time, you can brew as much of a delicious, refreshing drink as you want without using jars and a seaming wrench. It's convenient, you'll agree.

The recipe for compote made from dried apples is the simplest. He is also my favorite. If you wish, you can add cinnamon, vanilla, star anise, cloves or mint. These spices are added to the broth a few minutes before the end of cooking. But if you are making compote for the whole family, make sure that no one in the household is an opponent of spices. Otherwise, you know how it happens - they will later say that they would drink it if it weren’t for cinnamon or star anise. And you will have to drink 4 liters of compote yourself :)

Ingredients

• 3 liters of water;
• 500 grams of dried apples;
• sugar to taste.

Preparation

Sort the dried apples, select only the highest quality fruits. For a tasty, rich compote, 150 grams of fruit is enough. If you don’t have dried apples, this can be quickly fixed. Cut fresh apples into slices and dry them in the microwave or oven.

Pour cold water over the fruit until it completely covers the apple slices. Let it brew for 10-15 minutes. Place the swollen fruit in a saucepan of clean (filtered) cold water, cover with a lid and cook for 15 minutes.

Cook the compote over low heat, then the drink will retain the maximum amount of vitamins and nutrients. Also note that compote made from dried apples takes twice as long to cook than compote made from fresh fruit. Add sugar to the compote, mix thoroughly and leave to simmer over low heat for another 10 minutes. Some housewives prefer to use honey instead of sugar, but then it is added after the pan with compote has been removed from the heat.

Remove the finished compote from the stove and let it brew under the lid for about 30 minutes. During this time, the apples will completely give up their aroma and taste to the liquid. The drink will become rich, fragrant, with a pleasant light sourness. Strain the cooled, infused dried apple compote, fill the carafe with it and serve.

Finally, I will say that I almost never make a drink using only apples. I prefer a mix of dried apples and pears. Just like in the photo.

Dried apple compote- This is a universal finish to any dinner. It will appeal to both kids and adults. You can cook this compote in a variety of ways. As a result, you will get a delicate drink with a delicate taste and delicate aroma. Apple compote is perfect for cool winter and autumn days.
