Ingredients:

• 2 Bramley apples, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

• 2 ripe conference pears, peeled, cored and thinly sliced

• 150g ripe blackberries

• 4 Medjool dates, pitted and diced

• 1 level tbsp of unrefined brown sugar, sprinkled sparingly. 

• 80g of low-fat cholesterol spread, or plant-based spread

• 50g of oats or oat bran (Mornflake make a nice one)

• 150g wholemeal plain flour

• 50g unrefined brown sugar

• 30g walnuts, finely chopped

• 30g flaked almonds

• Dollop of fat-free thick yoghurt to serve

Method:

• In a large oven-proof dish, add the well-mixed apples, pears and blackberries, and sprinkle with the chopped dates and the small amount of sugar.

• Using your fingertips, in a separate bowl, rub the flour into the butter until it resembles brown bread crumbs.

• Stir through the oats or oat bran, the sugar and the nuts.

• Sprinkle the crumble over the fruit.
