- Halve each apple through the circumference and dig out the core with a dessert spoon from both halves, leaving bowl-shaped hollows behind.
- 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.
