Fruit compote of fresh apples without peel

If the variety of fresh fruit requires it, then I peel the apples first, you can not do this. Then I cut them into 6-8 pieces and remove the core. To prevent the apples from darkening, I put them in cold water with citric acid. I pour sugar into a saucepan, fill it with hot water. I also add the chopped apples there and cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes until the fruit becomes soft.
In the cooked compote I put cinnamon or orange peel, lemon. I also cook compote from fresh pears, only I add less sugar, the amount of which I determine by the degree of sweetness of the pear. I cook the compote for 10-15 minutes.
If I cook a compote of Antonov ripe apples or very ripe pears, then I do not boil the fruit, but immediately add them to the boiling syrup, and remove from the heat.
I cool the cooked compote from fresh fruits and pour it into vases.
