About this recipe
Apple and kiwi compôte Thermomix TM7 is a wonderfully fresh fruit recipe that turns two everyday ingredients into a silky, aromatic dessert in minutes. If you are searching for easy fruit compôte recipes for your all-in-one kitchen machine, this preparation shows exactly why the TM7 excels at gentle fruit cooking: the apples soften evenly while the kiwi keeps its bright green colour and zesty character. The compôte works beautifully as a breakfast topping on porridge or yoghurt, as a light dessert after dinner, or packed into a lunchbox for the kids. Because the machine stirs and heats at the same time, you never need to stand at the hob watching a saucepan, and the bowl cleans easily afterwards. The natural sweetness of the apples means you need little or no added sugar, making it a great choice for seasonal autumn apple gluts or a quick weeknight treat.
Preparation tips
- Choose ripe but firm apples so the compôte keeps some texture; overripe fruit turns watery. Peel the kiwi fruits thoroughly, as the fuzzy skin gives a bitter taste and dulls the bright green colour of the finished compôte.
- Taste the compôte before serving and adjust with a squeeze of lemon juice or a little honey if the kiwi is very tart. Serve it warm over porridge in winter or chilled with cold yoghurt in summer for contrast.
- This apple and kiwi compôte freezes well in small portions. Spoon it into ice cube trays for babies and toddlers, or into jars for up to a week in the fridge — a handy fruit option to always have ready.
Recipe variations
- Baby-friendly variation: omit any added sugar completely and cook only apple and kiwi until very soft, then blend until silky. The natural sweetness of ripe apples is enough, and the mild taste suits little ones from six months onwards.
- Festive winter variation: add a pinch of cinnamon and a splash of apple juice while cooking, then serve the warm compôte with a spoonful of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an elegant yet simple dessert at Christmas dinner.
