Wash and peel the rhubarb and trim the ends. Divide thick stalks lengthways,
then cut into pieces.
Place the rhubarb in the baking pan, sprinkle with sugar and shake thoroughly.
Wash, core and peel the apples. Quarter the apples and cut into slices only shortly before
preparation. Add to the rhubarb along with the cinnamon stick.
Once some juice has formed, steam the rhubarb and apple mixture as indicated.
VARIATION:
Instead of the cinnamon stick, try slicing open a vanilla pod and adding it.
To sweeten the dish and as an alternative to the apples, try a sliced banana or
1½ cups strawberries.
