Apple,Fig and Cobnut Flapjacks.

As today was the last day of October and it was dark soooooo early  I needed to cook some comfort food. So it had to be apple, fig and cobnut flapjacks. I use a recipe from a Good Food magazine cook book. The recipe uses walnuts but as I have cobnuts I used those instead.

 

 450g/1lb Bramley apples peeled and cored

25g/1oz caster sugar

grated zest of 1 lemon

100g/4oz dried ready to eat figs chopped

50g/2oz light muscovado sugar

140g/5oz butter

140g/5oz golden syrup

250g/9oz oats

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

25g/1oz walnuts (I used cobnuts)

• Preheat oven to 190C/ gas 5.Slice the apples ,put into a small pan with a little water ,sugar.zest and simmer until apple is soft. Add figs and cook for about 15mins. Whizz into a puree.
• Melt butter, muscovado sugar and syrup in a pan. Stir in the oats, cinnamon and nuts.
• Press half the mixture into an 18cm/7in square tin.Spread the puree on top and cover with the rest of the mixture.
