Procedures:

1	Soak the dried apricots and prunes in 6 cups cold water for 30 minutes.
2	Since the dried fruit expands considerably as it absorbs the soaking liquid, you will need a saucepan (of stainless steel or enamel) with a capacity of at least 3 quarts.
3	Add the cinammon stick, lemon slices, tapioca and sugar and bring to a boil.
4	Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent the fruits from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
5	Stir in the raisins, currants and apples slices and simmer an additional 5 minutes, or until the apples are tender and offer no resistance when pierced with the tip of a sharp knife or skewer.
6	Pour the contents of the saucepan into a large serving bowl and let cool to room temperature.
7	Remove the cinammon stick, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate to chill.
8	Serve the fruit soup in compote dishes or soup bowls as a light year-round dessert.
