Instructions: 2 Apples, cored and sliced. Suggested Golden Delicious - stay white when cooked. Cook the apples to a soft pulp in a little water and allow to cool.

Place in a blender with the dissolved gelatin, cheese and coloring, and blend to a smooth puree. Leave to set, then spread on the cake and pipe if desired.

This spread, covered, keeps well in the refrigerator and may be deep-frozen.

Suggested uses: Childs birthday cake, slab cake cut in squares and decorated with a blob of icing topped with a piece of fruit, low-calorie spread for plain cookies or scones. 5 cal in 2 tsp.
