Method
step 1
Put 2 of the chopped apples in a pan with 50ml water. Simmer over a low heat, covered, for 10-12 mins, until the apples are softened and collapsing. Set aside to cool a little, then tip into a small food processor and whizz to a purée.
step 2
Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a muffin tray with 12 paper cases.
step 3
In a bowl whisk the oil, eggs, yogurt, sugar and apple purée. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, 70g of the oats, baking powder, bicarb, mixed spice, cinnamon and ¼ tsp salt. Make a well in the centre, then stir in the wet ingredients until you have a smooth batter, stir in the remaining chopped apple, then divide into the 12 cases. Sprinkle each one with the remaining oats. Bake for 25-30 mins until firm and springy. Leave to cool before serving.
