• 2  apples, preferably Braeburn
• 1  just ripe pear, preferably
• 25 gram(s) hazelnuts, chopped
• 1 tablespoon(s) sultanas
• 5  dried apricots, chopped
• Ground cinnamon, for dusting
• 25-50g (1-2oz) unsalted butter
• Runny honey, for drizzling
• Greek yoghurt, to serve

Method

1. Preheat oven to 200ºC/180ºC fan/Gas 6. Trim the bottoms of the apples slightly, so they sit flat. Using a corer, remove the cores. Scrape out some apple around the core cavity to allow for more stuffing. Halve the pear and scoop out the core.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the hazelnuts, sultanas and apricots. Arrange the apples and pears in a non-stick baking dish. Stuff the nut and fruit mixture into the apple and pear cavities. Dust with cinnamon; add a good knob of butter to each, then drizzle each one with 1-2tsp honey. Cover with foil.
3. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake until just golden, about 10-15 minutes. Serve warm with the pan juices poured over and the yoghurt.
