Method
- Preheat oven to 150c

- Score around the circumference of each apple with a small sharp. Place in a shallow baking dish side by side. Using your fingers push 1-2 spoonful’s Christmassy mincemeat into the core of each apple, using up all the mixture between them.
- Lightly coat apples with coconut oil or butter
- Bake in oven for 25 - 40 minutes, until apples are tender and busting every so slightly out of their skins. (this will depend on the size and type of apple)
- Remove from oven, serve individually with a good dollop of yoghurt.
