was the filling chunky or smooth? i would be tempted to try this with apple chunks, in which cause the 150g should work. granny smith apples would hold their shape while cooking, but would be tarter (hence the 150g sugar)...just thinking...

The filling was a little chunky, but because I used apple pie filling which tends to be quite soft, the chunks mashed down a little as I stirred them through.

If you're going to use Granny Smith apples, then I agree - definitely play with the sugar level.

I think if I made this again, I'd throw in some sultanas. I like apples and sultanas together.
