QUICK, LIGHT AND EASY APPLE AND MIXED FRUIT CRUMBLE…

If like me you love crumble then my recipe for this delicious pudding is just for you. I have used Splenda Light for half my sugar but if you prefer all caster sugar that is fine, I have also use half fat spread but again if you prefer butter that is also fine. I am just always looking to lower the calorie and fat value of my puddings.
