The simple things are often the richest. And there is nothing easier than making a applesauce and flavor it with cinnamon; sounds good right? Using freshly picked apples from the tree to make a compote is one of those pleasures that I have inherited by tradition.
Applesauce admits other ingredients as well. If you have a peach or pear that is going to spoil, you can incorporate it as well. 15-20 minutes over medium heat is usually enough to have a sweet and delicious traditional dessert ready. If you have never dared to make it, this is the time.
