Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C. Put the apples in a 1.5 litre pie dish. Pour over the fruit juice, then add the ginger, and 1 tbsp of its syrup and stir together.
  2. Make the topping. Tip the flour into a large bowl. Add the fat and cut into small pieces using a round-bladed knife, so that it is evenly distributed through the flour. Stir in the muesli, sugar and sunflower seeds, then scatter evenly over the apples to cover them.
  3. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden and crunchy on top. Leave to cool slightly for 5-10 minutes before serving with reduced fat Greek yogurt or low-fat natural yogurt.

    We've been advised to keep carbs lower; this recipe seems quite high to total carbohydrates.

    No, sorry, I don't think it would be suitable for diabetics with the syrup content which would be high in sugar, plus the 3 tbsp of light muscavaco and then even to add low fat yoghurt is not a good idea for good diabetes control. My nurse would freak out if she saw this recipe as being suitable for diabetics! Maybe as a one off special treat, ok!
