2. Peel the apples and scatter peel across a baking tray
3. Rub coconut oil through the peel and sprinkle with cinnamon
4. Place in the oven for 40 minutes, turning halfway
5. Place under grill for 5 minutes to toast, be careful to watch them so they don’t catch!

Compote:

1. Core the apples and chop them roughly into quarters
2. Place in a boiling pan with the berries with enough water to just cover them
3. Bring water to the boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes
4. Drain off some of the water and add the cinnamon, honey and the wine
5. Reduce the apples and berries down until completely soft and mash with a fork or potato masher
