Lower Calorie Apple & Cinnamon Strudel

Ingredients

700g cooking apples
25g sultanas
½ level tsp cinnamon
Grated zest of 1 lemon
Artificial sweetener, to taste
Low calorie cooking spray
4 x small sheets filo pastry
25g low-fat spread, melted
1 level tsp icing sugar, for dusting

Method

Peel and core the cooking apples and slice them thinly. Mix in a bowl with the sultanas, cinnamon and lemon zest.
Sweeten to taste with artificial sweetener.
Spray a large baking sheet with low calorie cooking spray and place a sheet of filo pastry on top. Brush very lightly with the low-fat spread and then cover with a second sheet. Repeat with the remaining two sheets, brushing with more low-fat spread.
Spoon the apple filling onto the pastry lengthways, leaving the pastry uncovered at the edges. Now roll up from one long side into a cylinder, with the pastry join underneath.
Pinch the ends of the cylinder to seal in the filling.
Brush with the remaining melted low-fat spread and then bake in a preheated oven at 190°C/170°C Fan/Gas Mark 5 for
25 – 30 minutes, until the pastry is crisp and golden brown.
Cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar and cutting into
thin slices to serve.
