This is quite simply the perfect start to an autumn or winter day. Make the apple compote in advance and simply stir through your porridge, topping with greek yoghurt to balance your blood sugar and provide protein to keep you full until lunch. Sprinkle those heart-healthy walnuts over the top for added crunch. The apples provide all the sweetness so there's no need for honey or maple syrup.
