    Soft, sweet apples in a sticky, toffee-like sauce with creamy vanilla ice cream melting through - sound like heaven? Trust me, this warming dessert will leave you feeling content on even the coldest winter night. Smelling the cinnamon wafting through the house as Mum made a non-gluten-free apple tart earlier, I knew I had to make something equally delicious.

    Apples to me are the epiphany of autumn, be it in a comforting apple crumble or a fancy upside down cake. I don't really like eating apples just on their own but I love cooking with them. So if you fancy something a bit naughty to eat which is a bit like a giant hug in a bowl, give these seriously simple stewed apples a go.

    Pure heaven in a bowl.

    Seriously Simple Stewed Apples

    (Serves two - or one very hungry person...)

    • 2 apples
    • 2 tbsp dark brown or demerara sugar
    • Enough cold water to just cover the apples
    • ½ tsp cinnamon
    1. Peel and core the apples and chop into bite-sized chunks
    2. Add to a pan, pour over the water and add the sugar and the cinnamon
    3. Bring to the boil
    4. Simmer for approximately 5 minutes
    5. Turn up the temperature so the mixture is boiling - keep on a high heat until the moisture boils down into a syrup
    6. Pour into a bowl, add a dollop or ice cream or clotted cream, and enjoy...
