🍏 Class 2 had a fabulous time collecting apples, preparing them for baking, making apple flapjacks and most of all eating them - They were delicious! 🤤

To make 12 flapjacks, you will need:
Ingredients
2 eating apples
175g butter
175g demerara sugar
2 tbsp golden syrup
½ tsp ground cinnamon
50g sultanas
225g porridge oats
2 tbsp sunflower seeds (optional)
A baking tin (approx. 18cm × 27cm)
Baking parchment
Method
1. Prepare
Preheat the oven to 160°C (140°C fan) / Gas Mark 3.
Line your baking tin with baking parchment.
2. Prepare the apples
Quarter the apples.
Peel them and remove the cores.
Cut into small chunks.
3. Cook the apples
Put the apple chunks into a saucepan.
Add 25g of the butter.
Cook gently over a low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the apples are soft.
4. Make the flapjack mixture
Add the remaining butter to the pan.
Add the sugar, golden syrup, cinnamon and sultanas.
Heat gently, stirring until all the butter has melted.
Remove from the heat.
5. Add the dry ingredients
Stir in the oats.
Add the sunflower seeds if using.
Mix everything together well.
6. Bake
Spoon the mixture into the lined tin.
Press it down evenly and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown.
7. Cool and cut
Leave in the tin for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
Cut into 12 pieces.
Allow to cool completely before serving.
Top Tip
For chewy flapjacks, take them out when they are golden brown and still slightly soft. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly. 🍎🥣
