1 large apple
2 tsp Truvia
150g light butter, plus extra for greasing
150g ready-to-eat, dried soft, stoned dates
3 tbsp orange or apple juice
30g mixed nuts, roughly chopped
150g dried fruits, such as cherries, blueberries or cranberries
150g porridge oats
1-2 tsp sesame seeds
Directions
- 1.
Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/gas 5.
- 2.
Grease and line a shallow 17.5cm-square tin with baking paper.

Peel, core and slice the apple and toss with the Truvia®. Place in a medium pan with 2 tsp water. Cover the pan and put it on the hob over a medium heat. Simmer for 4 minutes, stir and cook for a further 1-2 minutes or until the apple is beginning to become fluffy (you could also do this in the microwave). Leave to cool for 5 minutes.

Put the dates and juice in a food processor and whizz until smooth. Add the stewed apple and whiz for a further 5 seconds.

Melt the butter in a large pan over a low heat. Add the date purée and all the other ingredients. Stir well, then press into the tin, sprinkle with the sesame seeds and press with the back of a spoon. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until just golden.
- 6.
Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes. Cut into slices in the tin. Cool completely before turning out and cutting into slices.
