Peel, core and cut each apple into thick wedges. Place apples into a large microwave safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and cook on HIGH for 6 minutes or until just tender. Carefully remove cover and release steam
Add sugar, lemon zest, blueberries, cinnamon and flour and mix to well coat. Spoon into 8 cup (2 litre capacity) baking dish with 5cm deep sides
