Peel the apples and remove the core. Then cut the apples into medium-sized cubes and add them to the saucepan. Simply add all the other ingredients and bring to the boil briefly. Then turn back to low temperature and simmer for about 30 minutes. Then the apple pieces should be soft. If not, add another 10-15 minutes.
I then pressed the apple pieces with a ladle until they were mushy and it was ready to eat, both warm and cold. The ideal dessert for cold, wet winter evenings or just in between.
Tip: for children, swap the wine for water or milk.
