Baking apples until they collapse into softness is one of autumn's great pleasures, and here they are filled with a buttery-tasting crumble of oats, walnuts and raisins. Cinnamon perfumes the whole kitchen as they bake. Serve them warm, spooned straight from their skins, with a little coconut cream or yoghurt.

Method
Serves 4 · about 50 minutes from start to finish.
Heat the oven to 180C / 160C fan.
Core the apples and score a line around their middles to stop them bursting. Sit them in a baking dish.
Mix the oats, chopped walnuts, raisins, cinnamon and melted coconut oil into a rough crumble.
Press the mixture into the cored centres, letting it spill over the tops.
Pour the orange juice into the base of the dish.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until the apples are soft and the crumble is golden. Serve warm with coconut cream or yoghurt.

Cook's tip
Choose a proper baking apple such as Bramley - it turns beautifully fluffy in the oven where an eating apple can stay firm.
