here in France is called &#8220;<strong>comp\u00f4te<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>It is basically a <strong>fruit pur\u00e9e<\/strong> with a small amount of sugar and some flavourings that enhance and complement the taste of fruits.<\/p>\n<p>The most common fruit pur\u00e9e you can find is <strong>with apples<\/strong> and it&#8217;s very<strong> easy to make<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I love apples with <strong>cinnamon<\/strong>, so that was my choice for flavouring, but <strong>you can also use vanilla, citrus zests<\/strong>, or even mix different compotes!<\/p>\n<p>You can use this recipe for a light<strong> standalone dessert<\/strong>, but also <strong>to fill tarts<\/strong> or other pastries like <strong>apple turnovers<\/strong> made with puff pastry.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"gmc-recipe\" id=\"gmc-print-1391\" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Recipe\" style=\"\">\n                        <meta property=\"og:site_name\"
