A use up recipe for apples

I was having a bowl of weetabix minis tonight as a snack and this recipe sprang to mind. So here's an easy use it up recipe for apples and weetabix!
I made this first years ago as a kid after it appeared on a magazine programme aimed at young people. It's only recently I was able to get my hands on a copy of the recipe again after losing my original! (Thanks Blue Peter!!)

(Just looked at the date on the recipe sheet, oh 1989, didn't think it was as long ago as that!)
