Step 1
Wash the dried apples. I use a colander with large holes. Place the washed apples into a large pot.

Step 2
I bought a bunch of viburnum. Those who grow it at home can use as much viburnum as they like—the resulting compote will have a more or less intense flavor. Add the viburnum to the apples. I use viburnum together with the stems.
