Those apples

Re the Scrumptious apples that were not so impressive...

I peeled and sliced some of them, along with some of the cooking apples (are they Bramleys?) that Jane brought back from our friend Rosemary's; added some demerara sugar, some dried fruit (currants, raisins, apricots & dates) and a splash of Apfel Schnapps, cooked them over a low heat for half an hour or so, and this is the result...

Apple compote

The mixture of dessert and cooking apples gives a nice contrast of textures. I'm having some of this for my breakfast tomorrow...
