Zoe Bingley-Pullin's mini apple and coconut crumble

"It makes my so happy when I see [my 14-month-old daughter], Emily, eating my mini apple and coconut crumble as I know it's a healthy source of good fats from coconut, slow-releasing fibre and the right kinds of sugar from apple," says Zoe Bingley-Pullin, accredited nutritionist and nutrition ambassador Only About Children.

"I also love to eat it with a little yoghurt and cinnamon."
