Notes
- You can use normal plain yogurt but remove the excess water by straining the yogurt in a cheese cloth or a fine sieve.
- If you don't want to make the oat flour topping or crumble then just break up your favourite cookies and use that instead.
- You can use ready made cherry filling, but again the sugar content may be high.
- Use quick or old fashioned oats for the cobbler topping.
