June 27, 2021

Apple, Caramel & Oats - a perfect flavour combo and made into an easy chewy, crumbly, delicious slice. Those winter flavours we come back to every winter. Apple Pie flavours - but it's much easier than a pie!

Serves 12                   Prep time 30 mins                   Cooking time 30 minutes   

INGREDIENTS

4-5 medium apples, peeled & chopped

1 tsp allspice (or any apple pie flavours you like - cinnamon, lemon juice, ginger)

185g butter, melted

1 cup brown sugar

1 1/2 cups plain flour

1/2 tsp bicarb soda

1 1/2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup desiccated coconut

400g tin condensed milk

2tbs golden syrup

1/2 tsp sea salt (if you like salted caramel)

60g butter

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, but makes it so yummy)

METHOD

Place peeled and chopped apples in a bowl or pyrex jug with 1 tbs water. Cook for 8 minutes until soft. If you like your apples with a bit of bite check them at 7 minutes. Mix allspice into apples.

Preheat oven to 180C. Melt butter and add brown sugar, stir until combined. Add flour, bicarb soda, oats and coconut and combine.

Press half the mixture into a 16 x 26cm slice pan. Bake for 15 mins or until just golden.

Combine condensed milk, golden syrup and butter in a saucepan. Stir over medium heat until slightly thicker & golden (approx. 8 mins). Stir in salt.

Spread caramel over biscuit base. Spread cooked apples over caramel. Crumble remaining biscuit base mixture over the top of the apple, pressing it down a little. Sprinkle nuts on top if using.

Return to oven for 12 mins or until golden on top. Allow to cool. Chill and cut into squares. Serve cold with coffee or warm with ice cream.         ENJOY!!
