It works beautifully in simple recipes that allow its flavour to really shine – this easy foil-baking method does just that. Feel free to adapt the ingredients to include the herbs and flavourings you prefer (or have available). Serves 2.

This recipe uses apples, but you can also use pears, rhubarb, plums, berries, peaches (or a mixture of whatever fruit you have to hand/need to use up). The crumble topping contains healthy oats and warming spices, and because the apples are eating apples, rather than cooking apples, there’s no need to add any extra sugar to them. Serves 4-6, depending how hungry you are!
