Steps:
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir pecans in melted butter until lightly toasted, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer toasted pecans to a bowl with a slotted spoon, reserving butter in pan. Cook and stir apples in reserved butter until apples begin to soften, about 2 minutes; add sugar.
- Stir water, raisins, and salt into apple mixture. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until raisins are plump, about 5 minutes. Add whiskey, vanilla extract, and toasted pecans.

Steps:
- Place the apples in a saucepan with the sugar (if using). With a very sharp knife, remove the rind from the lemon (avoiding the bitter pith). Then mince the rind and add it to the saucepan. Squeeze the juice of the lemon into the saucepan, add the vanilla bean, cover, and cook over medium heat for half an hour. If the mixture becomes too dry, add a tablespoon of water, but the idea is to steam the apples in their own juices. Serve with healthy hot cakes.

Tips:
- Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn. These apples hold their shape well and won't become mushy when cooked.
- Peel and core the apples: This is an essential step to ensure that the compote is smooth and free of any unwanted bits of skin or core.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the compote from burning.
- Cook the compote over medium heat: This will allow the apples to soften slowly and develop a rich flavor.
- Stir the compote frequently: This will help to prevent the apples from sticking to the bottom of the pot and burning.
- Add sugar or honey to taste: The amount of sugar you add will depend on the sweetness of the apples and your personal preference.
- Add spices to taste: Common spices that are used to flavor apple compote include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
- Serve the compote warm or cold: Apple compote can be served warm as a dessert or cold as a refreshing snack.
Conclusion:
Warm apple compote is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It can be served as a dessert, a snack, or even a breakfast topping. It is also a great way to use up leftover apples. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make a delicious and satisfying warm apple compote at home.
