Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons reduced-fat spread

- ½ cup brown sugar
- ⅓ cup orange juice
- 2 teaspoons vanilla essence
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 sheets filo pastry
- cooking spray oil
- 2 teaspoons castor sugar
- 1 tablespoon flaked almonds
- low-fat vanilla custard to serve
Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Melt spread in a large non-stick pan over low heat. Add the apples, sugar, juice, vanilla and cinnamon. Cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until apples soften slightly. Spoon mixture into a 6-cup capacity pie dish and set aside to cool slightly.
