Baked Quince with Cocoa-Raspberry Yogurt Filling
A Turkish-inspired baked fruit dessert built on the honey-and-cinnamon quince tradition, here made with apple halves baked until tender and filled with a cocoa-whipped Greek yogurt that carries real protein and fibre into a dish that still reads as a comforting fruit pudding.

Instructions
1
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F).
2
Note
apple stands in for quince here as a seasonally practical substitute with the same baking behaviour; if using true quince, pre-simmer 15 minutes in water with the lemon juice until just tender before baking, as raw quince will not soften fully in this time.
3
Peel, core and halve the apples, then toss with lemon juice and cinnamon to prevent browning.
4
Place the apple halves cut-side up in 2 small baking dishes, drizzle with honey, and cover loosely with foil.
5
Bake for 25 minutes until tender but still holding their shape, then uncover and bake a further 5 minutes to lightly caramelise the tops.
6
While the fruit bakes, whisk the cocoa powder and whey protein isolate into the Greek yogurt until smooth and glossy, adding a splash of water if too thick.
7
Let the baked fruit cool for 5 minutes, then spoon the cocoa-protein yogurt into the hollowed centres.
8
Scatter the raspberries and chopped walnuts over the top just before serving.
