Ingredients
1 large cooking apple-peeled and sliced
2oz/50g caster sugar
3-4 tablespoons of water
1lb/450g fresh/frozen mixed berries
10floz/300ml thick natural yoghurt
Granola:
8oz/225g porridge oats
4oz/110g flaked almonds
4 dessertspoons of honey
2 tablespoons pumpkin seeds
2 tablespoons sunflower seeds
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas Mark 4
Begin by making the apple & mixed berry compote.
Place all the sliced apples, sugar and water together in a medium saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, add the mixed berries and simmer for 8-10 minutes until they just begin to soften. Do not allow the mixture to become smooth-it's nice to have lumps of fruit still contained. Allow to cool completely.
Meanwhile prepare the granola.
Spread the porridge oats, flaked almonds, pumpkin and sunflower seeds onto a flat baking sheet. Drizzle with the honey and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crisp, stirring occasionally during baking. Remove from the oven, allow the granola to go completely cold and store in an airtight container until required.
To assemble the fool, layer the granola, apple & mixed berry compote and natural yoghurt up in tall glasses in alternative layers.
Sprinkle a thin layer of the toasted granola on the top and garnish with a little natural yoghurt and a sprig of fresh mint.
