Apple Compote

Recipe taken from Martha Stewart Recipes. Substitutions in italics.
When we buy apples, Steve tends to make apple crisp or apple pie. I need a recipe that I can make that uses apples without being something baked. This might fit the bill :)

Ingredients

• 3 pounds apples, such as Granny Smith, Pink Lady, and Rome Beauty, peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks
• 2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Calvados, apple brandy, or Cognac, optional (if we want this, we can try peach, apricot, or pear juice)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Cover, and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are tender, about 30 minutes. Let cool completely.
