Ingredients
- 500g Bramley apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 2 eating apples, peeled, cored and sliced
- 25g caster sugar
- ½ tsp ground mixed spice
For the crumble
- 100g plain flour
- 60g low-fat spread
- 40g light brown soft sugar
- 1 tbsp clear honey or maple syrup
- 40g porridge oats
- 15g toasted flaked almonds
- 15g pumpkin seeds
Step by step
Get ahead
The apple filling can be cooked a day in advance and kept chilled.
- Preheat the oven to 190°C, fan 170°C, gas 5. Add both types of apples to a medium- large saucepan with the caster sugar, mixed spice and 125ml water. Cover and cook over a medium heat for 6-7 minutes until starting to soften, then tip into a 20cm-square, or round, baking dish.
- For the crumble, rub the flour and low-fat spread together until they look like breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar, honey, oats, almonds and pumpkin seeds. Scatter the crumble over the fruit.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until the crumble is crisp and bubbling. Serve with low-fat custard, if you wish.
