Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/Fan 170°C.
  2. First, ask an adult to help you chop the apple and apricots into small pieces. In a mixing bowl mix them together with the water and cinnamon.
  3. Scoop the mixture into a glass casserole dish (or similar that is microwave-safe and ovenproof), cover and cook on high for about 5–6 minutes, until soft.
  4. In the mixing bowl put the spread, syrup and flour, and rub together with your fingers to make the crumble. Then mix in the oats and seeds.
  5. Next, carefully sprinkle the crumble over the fruit mixture – remember the dish will be hot. Ask an adult to put the dish in the oven for 20–25 minutes until the top is golden.
  6. Your apple crumble is now ready. Spoon into four bowls.

Serving suggestion

Enjoy on its own or with low-fat custard, fromage frais or yoghurt on top.

TOP TIP

Dried fruit such as raisins, apricots, prunes and cranberries can help you eat 5 A DAY. Around 30g of dried fruit (equivalent to 80g of fresh fruit) counts as 1 portion.

Be aware of the high sugar content of dried fruit – the NHS recommends that dried fruit should be eaten at mealtimes, not as a snack, to reduce the risk of tooth decay.
