Step 1
Dried apples take the longest to cook, so they should be added to the pot first. Rinse them thoroughly under plenty of water in a colander beforehand. Place the pot with clean drinking water on the stove, add the apples, bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat.

Step 2
Add granulated sugar to the compote. If you prefer sweeter drinks, you can increase the amount of sugar by one and a half or even two times. Or you can skip it altogether if you're watching your figure.

Step 3
Rinse the raisins, dried apricots, and prunes, then place them into separate bowls. Pour boiling water over the dried fruits, let them steep and swell. This will take about twenty minutes.

Step 4
When the dried fruits have softened, add them to the pot with the boiling apples. Cook the compote under a closed lid for another ten minutes. Then turn off the heat and let it steep until it cools down. Pour it into a glass container and place in a cold place.
