It requires just 20 minutes to prepare and serves four.

Ingredients

600g ripe apricots halved and stoned
juice of 1 large orange
50g caster sugar
2 cinnamon sticks broken
500g tub of Greek yogurt
zest of 1 lemon

Method

Combine the apricots, orange juice, sugar and broken cinnamon sticks in a saucepan. Cover the pan and cook gently for about 15 mins, until the apricots become very soft. Take out the cinnamon sticks and allow the mixture to cool.
Transfer the yogurt to a bowl and mix through the lemon zest. Gently fold in the majority of the cooled apricot mixture. Divide the fool between 4 glasses and finish with the rest of the fruit and any remaining juices.
