Apple Strudel Flapjack Bites
For the flapjack:
- 125g butter
- 125g brown sugar
- 2tbsp golden syrup
- 250g oats
For the apple filling:
- 6 apples (peeled, cored and chopped into cubes)
- 1tbsp water
- 1tsp cinnamon
- 2 level tbsp brown sugar
- 100g sultanas
Start by making the apple filling. Place the chopped apples, cinnamon, tap water and sugar in a saucepan. Simmer over a medium heat for 20 minutes. Five minutes before the end, add the sultanas. Put to one side and start making the flapjack.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C Fan. Line a 20cm x 20cm baking tin with baking paper. Melt the butter, brown sugar and golden syrup in a saucepan, then take off the heat. Combine the oats with the melted mixture.
Spoon half the flapjack mixture into the baking tin, pressing firmly with the back of a spoon. Add the layer of apple and cinnamon filling. Use the remaining flapjack mixture to cover the apple layer, again pressing firmly to flatten. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
Leave the flapjack in the tin until cold to prevent crumbling. Cut into 16 bites.
