AUTUMN LEAVES BOOKMARK TO COLOUR IN
Ingredients: (makes 12-16 squares)
2 apples
1 tablespoon caster sugar
150g (⅔ cup) butter
150g (⅔ cup) caster sugar
4 tablespoons golden syrup
300g (3 ¼ cups) porridge (rolled) oats
½ teaspoon cinnamon
Method:
- Chop the apples into little 1 cm-cubes.
- Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 4/180⁰C and grease and line a 22cm baking tin with baking/greaseproof paper.
- Put the apple cubes into a small saucepan with 1 tablespoon of sugar and about 2 tablespoons of water. Heat gently for about 5 minutes, until the apples have softened. Stir the apple occasionally so it doesn't stick to the bottom of the saucepan. Set aside to cool.
- Put the butter, sugar and golden syrup in another small saucepan. Heat the pan over a low heat until everything has melted.
- Put the oats and cinnamon in a large mixing bowl.
- Pour the melted butter mixture into the bowl with the oats and cinnamon.
Using a wooden spoon, mix the ingredients together well and then carefully add the apples and gently combine.
- Press the flapjack mixture into your prepared baking tin using the back of a metal fork.
- Bake the flapjacks in the oven for around 25 minutes, till lightly golden brown.
Leave it in the tin to cool completely before cutting into 12 or 16 squares.
The flapjack will keep in an airtight container for a few days. You can also freeze it by wrapping the individual squares in clingfilm and freezing them for a few months.
Hope you enjoy your apple and cinnamon flapjack!
