Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (160°C fan, 350°F, gas 4) with a baking tray inside to heat.
- Toss the apples and blackberries with the lemon zest and juice and half the cinnamon, then divide between four ovenproof pots or ramekins.
- Mix the topping by combining the oats, almonds, walnuts, seeds and remaining cinnamon. Stir in the oil and maple syrup until clumpy, then scatter over the fruit.
- Bake on the tray for 25–30 minutes, until bubbling and golden.
- Rest for 5 minutes and serve with cold yoghurt straight from the fridge. This keeps its live cultures intact.
