Ingredients

550g cooking apples
1 tsp ground cinnamon
Finely grated zest annd juice of 1 orange
4 tbsp granulated artificial sweetener
110g self raising flour
50g low-fat spread
A few drops of vanilla essence
150g fat free natural fromage frais

Method

Preheat the oven to 190ºC/170°C Fan/Gas 5.

Peel, core and chop the apples into chunks.

Place in an oven-proof dish and stir in the cinnamon, orange zest and juice and half of the sweetener.

Make the crumble: in a bowl mix together the self-raising flour with the remaining sweetener.

Melt the low-fat spread in a pan, remove from the heat and stir in the vanilla essence. Pour over the flour mixture and mix with a fork until it resembles breadcrumbs.
