Blackberry & apple ripple fool

In a small saucepan, combine the blackberries, 1 tbsp sugar and 2 tbsp water. Simmer for about 4 minutes until glossy and syrupy, then transfer to a small container. Wipe out the saucepan with kitchen paper. Combine the apple chunks with 2 tsp sugar, the lemon juice, cinnamon and 3 tbsp water. Simmer, covered, for 10 minutes or until very soft (add a little water if necessary), then crush into a textured but loose compote. It should be sharp, but add a little more sugar to taste if you like. Leave both fruits to cool completely (or cover and chill a few hours ahead).

Just before serving, whisk the cream until voluminous and just holding its shape. Fold in the yogurt, then swirl through the apple mixture with a spoon or spatula, stirring once or twice. Repeat, rippling through ½ of the blackberries and their syrup. Portion into small glasses or bowls, topping each with the remaining blackberry compote. Serve with crumbled gingernuts scattered over or shortbread alongside.
