Apple Molasses Compote

This morning, I noticed that there were a few apples that needed to be used up. I decided to try to make an apple molasses compote as a topping for some pancakes and give Dino a break from being the weekend breakfast chef. It turned out really well.

Sometimes the best recipes are put together with what you have laying around in your house!

I'm guessing at the amounts here, so feel free to play around with them.
