This apple compote is designed for immediate consumption. It can be served chilled or at room temperature. For a warm serving, gently heat it in a saucepan over low heat or in a microwave-safe dish.

Stirring before serving can help ensure a uniform texture, especially if any separation has occurred during storage.
