Ingredients

  • 3 medium apples peeled, cored and chopped
  • 1½ tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons artificial sweetener I used Lakanto monkfruit sweetener *
  • 7 tablespoons boiling water split
  • 1 medium egg
  • 6 tablespoons self raising flour
  • 1 pinch salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / 400°F / Gas mark 6
  • Peel, core and chop the apples into little pieces.
  • Place the apple pieces in a saucepan with 5 tablespoons of the water.
  • Cook over a medium heat, stirring often till the apples start to break down. I prefer the apples to be soft but not to have lost all of their shape - I like a bit of crunch in this dessert!
  • Remove from the heat and empty the softened apples into a pie dish - the one I used measures 7 inches.
  • Set aside whilst you make the topping.
  • Place the oil and the sweetener in a bowl. Whisk with either a small whisk or a fork until it is combined.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of boiling water and whisk again.
  • Add the egg and and whisk well until you have a nice smooth mixture.
  • Add the flour and a pinch of salt and fold in well until you have a smooth, lump free mix.
  • Spoon the sponge mixture over the apples and gently spread it so that it cover the apples.
  • Bake in the middle of the preheated oven for 18 - 22 minutes or until the top has turned a golden brown.
  • Serve warm with a dollop of low fat custard or fat free yogurt.

Notes

* If you don't like to use artificial sweetener you can swap it for sugar - see notes above on how this alters the SmartPoints.
Use sweet apples for the best flavour - see suggestions above about the best apples to use.
For variations of this dessert, including a cinnamon apple version, read the post above!
This dessert is lovely served with Birds low fat custard but is equally yummy served with a couple of spoonfuls of fat free yogurt!
