50g (2oz) butter, diced, plus extra for greasing

6 Bramley cooking apples, peeled, cored and diced

6 eating apples, such as Cox, peeled, cored and diced

Finely grated zest and juice of 2 lemons (preferably unwaxed)

1 cinnamon stick

6 whole cloves

2 bay leaves, broken

A large pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

125g (41/2oz) golden caster sugar, to taste

Butter the inside of the slow cooker dish liberally and add the diced apples. Add the lemon zest and juice, then mix well to coat all the fruit in the lemon juice.

Add the cinnamon, cloves, bay leaves and nutmeg and mix well. Dot the top of the apples with the butter, then cover with the lid and cook on low overnight or for up to 8 hours.

Carefully remove the whole spices, add the sugar to taste and mix well. Leave to stand for 5 minutes, then serve hot or allow to cool.
