APPLE & FIG FLAPJACKS
Ingredients:
450g apples, peeled and cored
25g golden caster sugar
Zest of 1 small lemon
100g dried figs, chopped
140g butter, cut into pieces
50g light muscovado sugar
140g golden syrup
250g porridge oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
25g walnuts, chopped
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 190 oC. Slice the apples into a small pan and stir in the caster sugar.
- Bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes until apple is soft, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in the zest and the figs and cook for another 15 minutes, uncovered. Stir mixture often.
- When the figs are softened and the mixture is quite dry, remove from heat and cool slightly.
- Whizz the cooked apple and fig mixture into a smooth puree in a food processor, set aside.
- Melt butter, muscovado sugar and syrup into a heavy based, medium saucepan over low heat.
- Do not let it boil. Stir in the oats and cinnamon and mix well to form a loose, sticky mixture.
- Press half of the mixture into a shallow 18 x 18cm square baking pan. Spread puree on top.
- Cover the puree with the remaining oat mixture and sprinkle the chopped walnuts all over.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until it is golden. Remove from oven, cut into squares and serve.
