Step 2
Take a saucepan of suitable size and pour 1.5 liters of water into it. Place the saucepan over low heat and bring the water to a boil. It's better to add the fruit for the compote to boiling liquid, as this way they will release more vitamins.

Step 3
When the water boils, add the fresh apples cut into slices. As soon as the compote comes to a boil again, reduce the heat to the minimum. Add sugar. If you are using sour apples, you can add more sugar. Cover the compote with a lid and cook for fifteen minutes.
