Apple Pie Pockets

With all the flavours of a traditional strudel but none of the guilt from excessive calories, my healthy take on an apple strudel really does hit the spot. I like to serve this with a splash of cream but if you prefer, you could serve with ice cream – just be sure to amend the calories to suit. I’ve stuck to the one fruit here, but the recipe is also delicious with raspberries added to the apple mix.

POINTS AND NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

Serves 2 – per serving = 4 points or 231 cals, 7.3g fat, 23.0g carbs, 12.2g protein

Ingredients

2 x large Bramley apples, peeled, cored and roughly diced

1 tbsp powdered sweetener

1 tsp ground cinnamon

Good grating of nutmeg

Zest of 1 lemon

2 low calorie tortilla wraps

1 egg white

Serving Suggestions

Dusting of icing sugar

10 strawberries, diced

Juice of 1/2 lemon

2 tbsp (30ml) light single cream (I use Elmlea)

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (fan).
  2. Put the apple, sweetener, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon zest in a pan with 50ml water, bring to a medium heat and simmer for 5–7 minutes until the apples have softened. You want it so the apples are soft but still hold their shape. Remove from the hob and cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Next, take one wrap and add half the apple filling down the centre lengthways, forming a narrow ‘sausage’ of apple filling. Leave plenty of the wrap exposed on either side of the mixture. You don’t want to overfill it or it will get rather messy!
  4. Wrap the strudel like you would a burrito – fold the top and bottom in first and then wrap over the left side and roll. Pop a little egg white at each end and nip the ends together so the apple mixture doesn’t ooze out. Repeat with the second wrap.
  5. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Add each wrap to the tray with the end of the wrap underneath. Brush the top of the wrap with a little more egg white and pop in the oven for 20–25 minutes until the top is nice and golden but the wrap is still soft and pastry-like.
  6. Remove from the oven and then slice each wrap in half. Serve topped with a dusting of icing sugar, strawberries, a squeeze of lemon and cream.
