Everyone’s allowed a pudding once in a while, so why not try this classic family favourite? You can use cooking apples or ordinary apples which may need less sugar.

Serves: 6 Time: 45 minutes

• 2 tsp low-fat spread

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) or gas mark 5.
2. Sift the flour into a bowl.  Rub the spread into the flour until it looks like breadcrumbs.
3. Stir in sugar and oats.
4. Peel and thinly slice the apples and toss with the sugar and orange juice.  Arrange the slices of apple in an ovenproof dish.
5. Cover the fruit with the crumble mixture and dot with spread.

Cook’s tips

• Use full-fat spread if you are cooking for under-twos.
