Stewed apples - Cooking for illness

Not everybody is a fan of fresh fruit but stewing different kinds of fruit and serving with a small dollop of cream/ice cream/custard can be a nice treat. I usually take a look at what we have and work with that this time I used about a dozen apples and half a pair. 《 Is that how pair is spelt or is it pare?  :/
All you need is your ideal fruit, some honey, cinnamon and a small glass of water. I don't really measure ingredients for this.

Method:
Wash, peel, de core and roughly chop your apples place in a large pan on low heat with honey and cinnamon to taste. Add the water and let it simmer, stir occasionally to ensure all the fruit is cooked. I like to cook it with still a bit of bite however this is just preference. Once it is cooked turn off and let it cool slightly before serving.
From experience I have learnt that stewed fruits get extremely hot! So please take care :)
