Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan170°C/Gas 5.
Peel, core and thinly slice the apples into a bowl. Add the ground almonds, spices and sugar and orange zest.
Unroll the pastry and cover with a damp cloth to stop it from drying out. Taking on e sheet at a time brush each sheet of filo pastry with the oil, then place the sheets of pastry on top of each other onto a large sheet of greaseproof paper.
Arrange the apples in a narrow strip, lengthways down the centre of the pastry to within 3cm of each shorter edge. Fold the 2 shorter edges over the filling and then fold over 1 long edge and tuck the fruit firmly underneath the pastry. Brush with any remaining oil and fold over the other edge, so that it overlaps by at least 5-6cm. Carefully transfer the strudel to a large oiled baking sheet. Brush with a little oil. Bake for 35-40 minutes, until crisp and golden.
Leave the strudel to cool down slightly. Dust with a light sprinkle of cinnamon and Half Spoon sugar before slicing and serving with low fat custard or low fat Greek yogurt.
Tip: Add sultanas or dried apricots to the apples.
