Method

  1. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the milk, spices and apple in a small saucepan. Cover, gently bring to the boil and simmer for 10-12 mins. Set aside to infuse for at least 15 mins.

  2. Remove and discard the spices, then pour the apples and milk into a large bowl and roughly crush the apples with the back of a fork. Mix in the oats, egg, vanilla, baking powder, pecans and blackberries.

  3. Tip into a 2-litre ovenproof dish and bake for about 30-35 mins until piping hot in the middle. Serve with milk or yogurt and maple syrup, if you like.

My milk and apple also curdled the first time. I carried on anyway and the result was still a really delicious bake which we have had many times. The next time I made it I got round the curdling problem by cooking the apples and heating the milk separately. It didn't taste any different to when the milk curdled, so I wouldn't worry about it!

VERY gentle heating resulted in all the moisture drawing out of the apple and the milk subsequently curdling, total disaster! Shame though as is smelled amazing

We made this on Sunday and it turned out excellent, reheated the leftovers for breakfast the next day, and just as good reheated,

Don't know why I even gave this one star. I put the milk, apple and spices into a pan and set it on the lowest heat to bring to the boil and subsequent simmer for 10 minutes. All I ended up with was a revolting curdled mess so all ingredients and the recipe in the bin!
