Brazil Nut Free Apple-Sage Compote
Warm, glossy, and fragrant with fresh sage, this compote is the kind of simple recipe that punches way above its weight. Diced apples are cooked down in butter and pure maple syrup until they're tender and coated in a syrupy, caramel-edged glaze — the kind of thing that makes your kitchen smell absolutely incredible. A splash of apple cider vinegar added at the end brightens everything up and keeps the sweetness from feeling heavy. The sliced sage brings an earthy, almost savory note that makes this feel far more sophisticated than a standard fruit sauce. Every single ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nut concerns, so there's no label-scanning required. Spoon it over roasted pork, stir it into oatmeal, or pile it onto a cheese board — it's versatile enough to earn a permanent spot in your recipe rotation.
