- As the butter melts, add the maple syrup, vanilla bean powder, cinnamon, ground ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, pinch of salt, and black pepper to one pan and stir well.
- In the second pan, add the pumpkin pie spice, coconut palm sugar, pinch of salt, and almond extract, then give it a good stir.
- Continue stirring both pans and cook over medium-high heat for 4-8 minutes.
- Cook to your preference depending on how soft you prefer your fruit.
- Taste and adjust the spices or sweetness if needed.
- Remove the pans from the heat.
- Add the almond extract to the pumpkin pie caramel apples and stir again.
- Now pile your apple and pear compote onto anything you want and enjoy every cozy spoonful!
