Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

4 cups whole milk
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)
1/4 cup plain yogurt with active cultures
6 cups diced peeled Granny Smith apples
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
a pinch of salt
1/4 cup water
a pinch of salt

Steps:

Heat the milk in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until a thermometer registers 185 degrees F. (The milk should be steaming but not boiling.) Turn off the heat and slowly whisk in the dry milk. Whisk in the maple syrup, if using. Let the milk mixture cool to 110 degrees F, 20 to 30 minutes. Whisk in the plain yogurt.
Pour the milk mixture into a large jar or glass bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap vented with a few holes. Set aside in a warm place (90 degrees F to 105 degrees F), such as near a heater or in a cooler with a thermos filled with hot water, 12 to 18 hours. (The longer it sits, the thicker and tangier the yogurt will be.)
Transfer the yogurt to the refrigerator; chill at least 8 hours. Stir before serving.
Combine 6 cups diced peeled Granny Smith apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of salt and 1/4 cup water in a skillet over medium heat. Simmer until soft, stirring, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

Choose the Right Apples: Use a variety of apples for a complex flavor. Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn are all good choices.
Use Fresh Dates: Fresh dates are softer and have a more intense flavor than dried dates. If using dried dates, soak them in hot water for 15 minutes before using.
Cook Low and Slow: Simmer the compote over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until the apples and dates are very soft.
Add Spices: Feel free to add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the compote for extra flavor.
Make the Yogurt Cheese Ahead of Time: You can make the yogurt cheese up to 3 days in advance. Just be sure to store it in the refrigerator.
Serve Warm or Cold: The compote and yogurt cheese can be served warm or cold. If serving cold, let the compote cool to room temperature before chilling.
