Chew fruit flapjacks with a soft apple and date centre
Ingredients
- 125g Butter
- 135g Light Brown Sugar
- 140g Golden Syrup
- 325g Porridge Oats
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 3 Large Cooking/Baking Apples (Chopped into small chunks)
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 25g Caster Sugar
- Juice of half a lemon
- 80g Dried Dates (Chopped finely)
Directions
| 1. | |
| Preheat the oven to 180C and line a 9" square cake tin (I use a silicone tin as it is easier to get the flapjacks out) | |
| 2. | |
| Melt the butter in a pan and add the brown sugar, heating through until the sugar is melted | |
| 3. | |
| Take off the heat and add the syrup, oats, and the cinnamon - Stir through until well combined | |
| 4. | |
| Add half of the oats mixture to the cake tin and cook for 10 minutes | |
| 5. | |
| Meanwhile, heat the chopped apple, caster sugar, lemon juice and water until just starting to soften in a medium pan | |
| 6. | |
| Add the chopped dates to the apple and continue to heat for another 5 mins - The mixture should be really soft and able to be mashed | |
| 7. | |
| Remove the oats from the oven and spread the apple/date mixture on top. Leave to settle for 5 minutes | |
| 8. | |
| Add the remaining oat mixture on top of the apples and cook in the oven for another 20 minutes | |
| 9. | |
| As soon as the flapjack comes out of the oven, chop into portions (whilst still in the tin) and leave to cool completely | |
| 10. | |
| Serve with a good, strong brew (and Lemsip if you are suffering like me!) | |
