Instructions
1
Peel, core and dice the apples into 1.5cm chunks.
2
Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and water.
3
Cover and simmer gently for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but still holding some shape and the liquid has reduced to a light syrup.
4
Uncover and cook for a further 2-3 minutes to thicken slightly, mashing a few pieces against the side of the pan for a rustic, part-chunky texture.
5
Divide the warm compote between two bowls.
6
Top each bowl with a generous spoonful of crème fraîche and a scattering of toasted chopped walnuts, and serve immediately while warm.
