Ingredients (serves 4)

  • 4 Bramley apples, peeled, cored and sliced
  • 6 Victoria plums, stones and skin removed
  • 5ml (2 tsp) sugar
  • A dash of white wine and a little water
  • 1 cinnamon stick

Method

  1. Place all the ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until the fruit is soft.
  2. Remove the cinnamon stick and stir fruits gently to break up any large lumps of fruit.

Serve warm or chilled with low fat, vanilla ice cream, crème fraiche or plain yoghurt. It is also nice to roast some sunflower seeds, tossed in a little brown sugar, under the grill until they are golden brown – sprinkle on top of the stewed fruit.
