Microwave Spiced Apple Compote

1.Place the diced apples into a large microwave-safe glass bowl.

2.Add the maple syrup, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, water, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to the bowl.

3.Toss the ingredients thoroughly until every apple chunk is evenly coated in the spiced syrup.

4.Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or a piece of parchment paper, leaving a small gap for steam to escape.

5.Microwave on high power for 4 minutes.

6.Carefully remove the bowl using oven mitts, stir the apples to redistribute the juices, and microwave for another 2 to 4 minutes until the apples are tender but not mushy.

7.Let the compote sit covered for 2 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly before serving warm.
