Late apples are completely different from summer ones: crispy, fragrant, with firm flesh and dense skin. If you bite into such an apple, it will seem sour. But it is worth corking it in compote, and the sweetness will come out. But not all autumn apples are suitable for compote. "Antonovka", for example, is good for jam, but in compote its slices crumble and turn into mush. The cottony flesh of "Simirenko" does not have a very expressive taste and even after cooking remains tough. It is best to make compote from apples with red skin and snow-sugar flesh. And if you add fresh ginger to them, you will get not only an ideal combination in terms of taste, but also a universal remedy for seasonal blues and colds.
