How about cooking apples briefly in the microwave to soften them up first?
Sort of like the beginning of making applesauce, but leave 'em in
slices...

I just reviewed about five recipes and they warn against apples and
blueberries.
None of the recipes I saw contained apples.
I had planned on using them because we have an apple tree,
but for this first year I think I'll omit them. We also live in Maine
and have blueberries all over the back yard, but I'll leave them out, too.
