Method:
- Peel and dice apples. Add to a saucepan with the water, cinnamon and sugar. Simmer for 20 minutes, semi-covered, until apples are tender.
- Mash the apples using a potato masher. Place in the fridge to cool.
- Roughly chop hazelnuts. Add to a frypan with butter, syrup, oats and a pinch of salt. Toast on low-medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden. Remove to a shallow tray to cool.
