Ingredients

4 Apples, large eating or Bramley apples
40 g Rolled oats
40 g Raisins
30 g Soft brown sugar
3 g Ground cinnamon
30 g Dairy-free spread
30 ml Maple syrup
100 ml Apple juice
200 g Dairy-free yoghurt

Method

Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan). Core the apples with a corer or small knife, making the hole a bit wider at the top. Score a line round the middle of each so the skins don't burst. Stand them in a small baking dish.
Mix the oats, raisins, sugar, cinnamon and spread with your fingers until clumpy. Pack it into the apples, piling any extra on top.
Drizzle over the maple syrup, pour the apple juice into the dish and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, basting once, until the apples are soft right through.
Serve warm with the juices from the dish spooned over and a dollop of yoghurt.
