Serves 6 people

Ingredients

600g Granny Smith apples – peeled & diced
250g blackberries – fresh or frozen (if using frozen blackberries de-frost before use)
Up to 3 tablespoons honey – adjust to taste, allowing for the sweetness of fruit used
100mls water
Toasted muesli or granola
Low-fat Greek-style yogurt to serve

Method

Place the apples, honey and water in a wide pot.

On a low heat, gently cook the apples until tender. If the apples start to stick or fry, just add a touch more water.

Once tender, turn off the heat then add the blackberries and stir through gently to combine well.

Spoon the fruit compote into a serving dish or individual glasses and top with toasted muesli or granola.

Serve warm with a dollop of yogurt.

This simple method can be used to stew any fruits quickly.

If preferred, serve with reduced fat ice cream / frozen yogurt / custard, or low-fat pouring cream.

For a baked alternative, rather the the toasted muesli/granola: place the stewed fruit in an oven-proof baking dish. Top with a mixture made from 1 cup rolled oats, ½ cup slivered almonds and 2 tablespoons golden syrup. Bake in a hot oven for 15 minutes or until the topping is toasted and bubbling.
