Method:

1. Put the apple slices, lemon rind and juice, water, caster sugar, raisins and cinnamon in a large saucepan.

2. Cover and cook gently for about 20 minutes until the apples are just tender but still hold their shape.

3. Turn into a large shallow flameproof serving dish and leave until cold. Spoon over the cream and chill overnight.

4. When almost ready to serve, sprinkle the top with the brown sugar and place under a hot grill (broiler) until the sugar melts and bubbles. Serve straight away with Shortbread Triangles.
