Sugar-grilled apricots & raspberries

Prep 15 mins | Cook 5 mins | Serves 4

8 (about 800g) plump apricots, halved and stones removed
125g raspberries
¹⁄₂ cup granulated white sugar
6 butter nut snap biscuits (or similar sweet biscuits)
Vanilla ice-cream or thick natural yoghurt, to serve

Step 1 Line the base of a large baking pan with baking paper. Arrange apricots, cut side up, in pan. Top each with 2-3 raspberries. Sprinkle each evenly with sugar.

Step 2 Place biscuits in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin finely crush biscuits. Set aside.

Step 3 Preheat a grill on high heat. Place fruit in pan under the grill (ensuring fruit is about 4-5cm from the heat source). Grill fruit for 4-5 minutes until apricots are just tender and sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool. To serve, sprinkle with crushed biscuits and serve with ice-cream or thick natural yoghurt.
