Healthy eating doesn’t mean no pudding and this dessert is grown-up enough to grace any dinner party. Relax and enjoy a delicious dessert, knowing we’re watching the calories for you.

Ingredients

3 medium eating apples, peeled, cored and cut into thin slices
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon rapeseed oil
2 level tablespoons oats

Method

Layer the slices of apple in a microwavable dish, sprinkle with the cinnamon, cover and cook in the microwave on high for 2–3 minutes, until soft enough to mash into a smooth apple sauce.
Allow the apple sauce to cool, then add the maple syrup and oil; and mix very thoroughly.
Transfer to a Tupperware pot; and freeze for at least 24 hours, or until solid.
Take the granita out of the freezer 10 minutes before needed. While the granita softens, sprinkle the oats on a baking tray and place under a medium grill for 2 minutes, until golden brown.
Using a fork, scrape the surface of the softened granita – it will easily take on a snow-like consistency. Transfer into four serving dishes and sprinkle with the toasted oats before serving.

If you take a look at my other dessert recipes, my love of apple and cinnamon is very clear!
