Bring to a simmer with the lid on, then take off the lid and cook, stirring, for about 5 mins until the apple is softening. Use a slotted spoon to scoop out three-quarters of the fruit chunks and put into a pie dish.

Recommended wine: Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, Vin Santo

Pie works really well with Lambrusco Dolce, Late Harvest Riesling, and Vin Santo. These wines are all sweet, which is important since wine should usually be sweeter than the food you're pairing with it. The Snake River Late Harvest Riesling with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 16 dollars per bottle.
