3 apples, e.g. Braeburn
3 red onions
1 tablespoon oil

Cut each of the apples into 8 wedges and remove the core. Peel the onions and cut through the root end into 8 wedges. Heat the oil and butter in an oven-proof sauté pan. Add the apples, onions, allspice, garlic cloves and the bay leaves. Season well and cook over a high heat until lightly coloured,
