This recipe is late. It was requested a long time ago by one of my loyal Blog followers (ahem actually my Bro!) This is currently my favourite Flapjack recipe as it has a bit of a twist on the more traditional Flapjack recipe. I am lucky enough to have a brilliant work buddy and even better both of her parents like to bake so we get goodies to munch our way through the days. This recipe comes from them. I have tried a delicious 'Apple and Sultana Flapjack'. I have also tried a 'Banana and Chocolate Chip Flapjack' which was a little bit naughty. The above Flapjacks are 'Apple and Apricot'. You can make many combinations of dried fruit, fresh fruit and chocolate chips. I would love to hear your combinations. The Summer means my brood are busy, all off in different directions at different times. It is good to have a supply of healthy, economical snacks readily available. Flapjacks are so sustaining too, they make a great breakfast snack, picnic snack or school/work snack and if they last long enough they keep well. They are almost a meal replacement.
Ingredients
285g/10oz of wholemeal flour
150g/6oz of porridge oats
1/2 tsp salt
2tbls Water
200g/7oz butter
100g/4oz sugar
2tbls of Golden Syrup
4 fresh Apricots, take out the stone and chop them up.
4 Peeled and grated apples
Method
Melt the butter in a saucepan with the sugar, salt and syrup. Mix in a large bowl with the oats, flour and water. Mix well. In a large buttered tin spread half of the mixture. Spread the apple and apricot over the oat mixture. Put the other half of the mixture on top. Bake in a medium to hot oven until the mixture is golden brown. 20-30 minutes. I used a Pizza Cutter to divide mine into squares when it was still warm. It made twelve large squares.

Gosh, I wish that it was a US recipe as it sounds good, but we don't cook with those measurements. :-(
ReplyDeleteWe're off to pick up our 2 granddaughters to take them to the beach for the afternoon. :-)
