Recipe: Apple Flapjacks
Recipe supplied by Cafe Des Amis
We’ve got another tasty Cafe Des Amis recipe for you to try at home! Did you know involving the children in cooking makes them a lot more likely to want to eat what you’re making? This time we’ve got something sweet with these healthy Apple Flapjacks.
This recipe is really versatile and can be adapted to be made as either a pudding – cooking a little less for a softer pudding-like consistency or more traditional flapjack slices with a longer bake, to serve up at snack time. They can also be frozen to use later. This recipe also happens to be vegan!
Serves: 12 pudding portions or 24 traditional flapjack slices
Ingredients
4 apples (or 1 tin of apples in juice not syrup)
400g porridge oats
Handful of raisins
1 tsp cinnamon
Apples are in season right now and this recipe has a lovely Autumnal feel!
Love local and get your produce from a local Bristol Independent. We got ours from the Public Market in Easton.
The sweetness in this recipe comes from the apples & raisins, there’s no added sugar.
Method
If using fresh apples, chop up and simmer off in water that covers the apples, until soft. Take off the heat and blend apples in the water. If you are using canned apples just blend with the juice.
Add oats until it is a dry sticky texture (if too dry, add a little water to loosen).
Mix in the raisins.
Lay greaseproof paper in a flat baking tray. Spread over mixture, press down and sprinkle with cinnamon.
Cook at 190°C /gas mark 5. For pudding, cook for 15 minutes and for more traditional style flapjacks, bake for 20-25 minutes (although it's worth noting the texture of these are a little softer than when using golden syrup).
