Apple flapjack

Ingredients

250g (8oz) butter
250g (6oz) caster sugar - reduced from 8oz, try reducing further
175g (6oz) golden syrup
425g (15oz) porridge oats
2 apples, peeled and grated

Method

STEP 1
Preheat oven to fan160°C. Oil and line base of a 20x30cm (8x12in) cake tin with baking parchment.

STEP 2
Melt butter, caster sugar and golden syrup together in a pan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in oats and apples.

STEP 3
Spread mixture in tin, pressing down HARD and bake for 20-25 minutes UNTIL GOLDEN BROWN AND FIRM. Cut into 12-14 bars; allow to cool before turning out of the tin.

Note: a very moist bar because of the apple. Could try cooking slightly first, then draining.
