Simmer apples, tamarillos, kiwifruit and pear with caster sugar, lemon zest and juice, star anise and a splash of apple juice until apples are just tender. Cool. Remove star anise and place fruit in a baking dish.
To make the cobbler topping, into a mixing bowl sift flour, caster sugar, nutmeg and salt. Rub in butter.
Mix in desiccated coconut and walnuts. Add the yoghurt, egg and lemon mix and stir into dry ingredients to form a wet dough.
Cover top of fruit with torn pieces of dough, brush with egg wash and bake in a hot oven until fruit is bubbling through the golden top. Serve with thick cream.
