Method

  1. Melt 1 teaspoon of spread in a small saucepan, over a medium heat. Add the cubes of apple, and sprinkle with the cinnamon and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring regularly, until the apple is soft and golden brown. Add a splash of water if needed.
  2. Remove from the heat and place the spiced apple in a bowl to cool. In the same pan, melt the rest of the spread. Then add the oats and the rest of the sugar. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the oats start to brown.
  3. Spread the oats over a piece of baking paper and leave to cool.
  4. Put the vanilla yoghurt, Greek yoghurt and lemon zest and juice into a bowl, and mix thoroughly.
  5. Set a couple of blackberries aside for decoration. Layer the blackberries and spiced apple with the oats and the yoghurt mix.
  6. Decorate with the remaining blackberries and serve.

The spiced apple could be used as a pancake filling or on porridge or muesli, for breakfast
