Choose apples that are nice looking with no bruising.

Decide whether to peel the apples; the creator chooses to keep the skins on for fiber.

Use a melon ball tool to scoop out the seeds from the apples.

Remove the ends of the apples with a knife.

Cut the apples into big chunks, about six slices per half apple.

Repeat the cutting process with the remaining apples.

Place the chopped apples in a pot.

Add 1/3 cup of maple syrup to the pot with the apples.

Bring the mixture to a strong simmer, almost a boil, over medium-low heat.

Cover the pot while waiting for it to come to a strong simmer.

Once bubbling, reduce the heat to low and set a timer for 20 minutes.

If the liquid dries up, add a splash more of maple syrup or a little bit of water or apple juice to prevent sticking.

Cook until the apples are fork tender, checking after 20 minutes.

Taste the compote to check for sweetness and texture.
