1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Grate apples.

2 Add chopped apricots, custard powder, cinnamon and mixed spice. Stir to combine. Add blueberries. Stir again.

3 Lay filo pastry in a baking dish. Spread filling mix down one side. Carefully roll the strudel. Lightly brush the top of pastry with milk. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. If pastry begins to brown too fast, lower the heat a little.

4 Remove from oven and dust with icing sugar. Serve with yoghurt or reduced-fat ice cream.
