Baked Breakfast Apples

Cut apples in half sitting-up wise, scoop out the core, microwave a few minutes to give them a head start. Make whatever mix of honey, granola, oats and yoghurt you feel inclined to - you might even have let is soak overnight. Heap it up on top of the apples. Bake for about 20 minutes - keep an eye on them. Enjoy. About 1.5 apples per person seems about right.

Fill these with whatever. Flavoured fried mince of whatever description, veggie/fetta mix, even fruit or jam fillings are perfectly acceptable. Wrap up in the risen and knocked-back dough in little mini-fist portions, and fry at a good 170c, turning over half way. Straight from Chef John, thank you Chef, we DID 'Enjoooy'.
