Sweet, oven-baked pears, nectarines and plums served with creamy yoghurt and a delightfully crunchy granola topping.
Sometimes there's a fine line between pudding and breakfast, and this baked fruit with yoghurt recipe definitely edges on to it. It's the perfect dish to serve up to a group of people as a sophisticated, social brunch. It's healthier than you'd think, too. Usually pudding recipes are crammed with added sugar, but this bake lets the natural sugars of the stone fruits do a lot of the hard work. Then we've used a little honey (instead of refined sugar), in the fruit and the granola topping. For an even lower calorie option, you could use a splash of fruit juice in the fruit instead. Feel free to use whatever fruits you have availble - apricots, apples and peaches all work well too.
Ingredients
- 1kg mixed fruit (we used 2 pears, 8 plums, 4 nectarines)

Method
- To make the crumble topping preheat the oven to 180ºC/375ºF/Gas 4. Mix all of the ingredients together, spread out evenly on a lined baking tray and bake for 15 mins.
- Meanwhile combine the remaining ingredients, apart from the yogurt, and arrange on another baking tray. Bake for 35mins.
- Serve with the crumble topping and a dollop of yogurt. Drizzle with more honey, if liked.
