Caramelized Poffertjes with Apple Compote

Method

1. Prepare the poffertjes batter as in the traditional recipe.
2. Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a small amount of butter.
3. Pour a small amount of batter into the pan, about 1/4 cup each.
4. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, then flip and cook the other side.
5. While the poffertjes cook, prepare the apple compote: in a small saucepan, melt butter, add diced apple, brown sugar, water, and vanilla.
6. Cook until the apples are tender, about 10 minutes.
7. Serve the poffertjes with a dollop of apple compote and a drizzle of caramel sauce.
