2 Best of British Apples
½ unwaxed lemon, zest and juice
175g porridge oats
650ml milk (or alternative of choice), plus extra if needed
2 tbsp ground flaxseeds
2 tbsp tahini
2 tbsp toasted flaked almonds

For the roasted apples

4 Best of British Apples
15 cardamom pods, seeds crushed
1 tbsp clear honey

For the roasted apples, preheat the oven to 200°C, gas mark 6. Core and finely slice the 4 apples, arrange on a large baking tray, then put in the oven for 5 minutes until starting to soften. Scatter over the crushed cardamom seeds and drizzle with the honey. Add a pinch of salt, turn to coat, then roast for 15-20 minutes more until turning golden. Cool for a few minutes, then transfer to a food container, cool completely and chill until needed (up to 3 days).
When ready to serve, grate the remaining 2 apples into a bowl with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt and mix well. Put the oats, milk, flaxseeds and a pinch of salt in a large pan. Bring to a simmer, then add the apple mixture. Cook over a low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring, until thickened and the oats are tender, adding a bit more milk if needed. Spoon into bowls, then top with a drizzle of tahini, some roasted apples, the flaked almonds and lemon zest, plus an extra drizzle of honey, if you like.
