Instructies
- Heat a medium-sized saucepan over high heat.

- Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue to stir regularly.
- Once the apple has cooked down and started to break up slightly, add the rest of the ingredients.
- Combine all the ingredients, reduce the heat even further, cover, and let it simmer for 20-30 minutes.
- Stir occasionally, but avoid overworking it, as the raisins can turn into a paste if stirred too much.
