Cinnamon adds sweetness when cooking so it makes it a great ingredient when you are trying to cut back on sugar. When paired with cardamom, oats and vanilla yoghurt it transforms the humble apple into a scrumptious dessert.
Ingredients
Red apple, unpeeled
4 medium, cored
Rolled oats, dry
45 g, (1/2 cup)
Fresh dates
2 individual, (2 tbs), pitted, coarsely chopped
Reduced fat oil spread
2 tsp
Cardamom
½ tsp, ground
Ground cinnamon
1 tsp
Vanilla yoghurt, 99% fat-free, no added sugar

Preheat oven to 180°C or 160°C fan-forced. Using a small knife, cut a 5mm slice from the top of each apple. Then cut a shallow groove around the centre of each apple (see tip). Place apples in a small ovenproof dish.

Place oats, dates, spread, cardamom and half the cinnamon in a small bowl. Using your fingertips, rub spread into oat mixture. Spoon oat mixture evenly among apple cavities. Bake for 40 minutes or until tender.
