Baked apples with berries

For an easy, delicious dessert, make these cardamom-spiced apples stuffed with berries and drizzled with a berry yoghurt sauce.

Ingredients

2 cup (300g) frozen mixed berries

4 large apples (800g)

4 cardamom pods

1/2 cup (140g) yoghurt

2 teaspoon honey

Method

1.Place berries in a fine sieve set over a small bowl, cover; thaw in refrigerator overnight.

2.Preheat oven to 160°C/325°F.

3.Core unpeeled apples about three-quarters of the way down from stem end, making hole 4cm (1½ inches) in diameter. Use a small sharp knife to score around centre of each apple. Make a small deep cut in the base of each apple; insert one cardamom pod into each cut.

4.Pack three-quarters of the berries firmly into apples; place apples in a small baking dish. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes or until apples are just tender.

5.Meanwhile, mash remaining berries with a fork in a small bowl; stir in yoghurt and honey.

6.Accompany apples with yoghurt mixture.

Use a good-quality baking apple such as Granny Smith or Sundowner; these hold their shape during baking.
