  • 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

    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.

  • 5.

    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.
