Seems like we always have apples laying about and there are plenty of options of what to do and make with those apples. This time, I made a tea infused apple compote that was easy and delicious. Perfect over French toast, pictured here; however it may be used with a variety of dishes.
Peel and core the apples. Slice the apples into thick chunks. Place them into a large saucepan. Add a bit of water. Place two Earl Grey teabags, or any flavoured teabags you may want to use, inside the saucepan with the apples and water. Add a tablespoon of brown sugar and a teaspoon of cinnamon to the saucepan as well. Place the saucepan on the stove and boil over medium heat until the apples become some what soft, not mushy, and the water has thickened from the reduced apples. Remove from heat, remove and discard the teabags, place into a serving dish and allow to cool. Cover and refrigerate overnight. You could serve the apple compote when it has slightly cooled however allowing the compote to settle and stew overnight enhances the flavour. Just gently reheat it when ready to use.
