1. Halve each apple through the circumference and dig out the core with a dessert spoon from both halves, leaving bowl-shaped hollows behind.
2. Mix together all the remaining ingredients except for the orange juice and fill the apples with the mixture. Fit them into a microwaveable dish and pour the orange juice on top. Cover and cook on Medium (500w) for 5-7 mins until soft. Cool for a few mins before serving with the yogurt or fromage frais.

Give it a twist

A few chopped toffees or small pieces of marzipan are great in the filling. Once cooked, sprinkle over crunchy oat cereal. Serve the hot apples with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

'We really enjoyed the wonderful aroma of baked apples and orange juice. My children just wolfed this down. Next time I might try raisins in place of the prunes.'

  So easy and quick, I've made these several times, change the filling to sultanas and chopped dried apricots and a hand full of nuts if you haven't got dates or prunes.
