Pour Mulberry onto apples
Add remaining cabbage
Dot with blobs of butter and cover with a buttered sheet of greaseproof paper pressed onto cabbage, then crimp the edge of the paper over the rim of the dish to keep in place.

If the cabbage produces a lot of liquid this can be thickened by the addition of kneaded butter
