Put the apple juice, cinnamon stick and star anise in a saucepan and heat gently until it starts to simmer. Add the apples and pears. Add the plums and figs to the pan. Simmer for around 20 minutes until the fruit is tender, adding the blackberries for the last 5 minutes. Remove the fruit from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Continue cooking the liquid until it reduces to a sticky syrup. Remove the cinnamon and star anise, then pour the syrup over the fruit.

Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas mark 6. Mix the porridge oats, flour, sugar and cinnamon together in a bowl. Rub in the low-fat spread using your finger tips, until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
