Ingredients

400 g apples
200 g blackberries

Instructions

Peel the apples if you prefer. Or you can leave them unpeeled which makes them a little more nutritious.
Cut the apple from the core and cut into slices about 5mm thick.
Add the apple to a saucepan, along with 2 tablespoons of water. Cover the pan, and simmer the apples gently until they are starting to soften. If you are using cooking apples, this will take about 10 minutes. Dessert apples will take longer, up to 20 minutes.
Add the blackberries and gently stir to mix. Simmer for another 5 minutes until the fruit is all soft and cooked through.

Notes

You can use either cooking apples or dessert apples to make this recipe.
You can use frozen blackberries if you prefer. There's no need to defrost - just add them to the warm apples.
The apples will start to brown as you slice them. Either work quickly or use a squeeze of lemon juice if you want to stop them from browning.
Stewed blackberry and apple can be stored covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.
It can also be frozen, although the fruit will be a little softer.
