Anita s Cozy Apple Fig Compote

2 Red Delicious apples - peeled, cored and diced

14 ounces dried figs

1 (2 inch) stick cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 ½ cups apple cider

Place the apples, figs, and cinnamon stick into a large saucepan. Pour in the lemon juice and apple cider. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook 20 to 25 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover the compote as it cooks if you prefer the compote thinner. Serve warm or cold.
