Apple & Raisin Spice Bars
Preheat the oven to 190°C
3 medium Cooking Apples
4ozs softened Butter
6ozs soft brown Sugar
1 Egg, beaten
½ teaspoon vanilla Essence
8ozs Plain Flour
2 teaspoons ground Cinnamon
½ teaspoon Nutmeg
½ teaspoon Salt
½ teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Bicarbonate of Soda
4ozs Raisins
Peel, core and chop apples. Cook with very little water. Blend to make ½ pint thick puree. Beat the butter and sugar together. Add the egg and vanilla, and then stir in the apple. Fold in the dry ingredients with the raisins. Pour into a greased 7in x 12in tin. Bake for 30-40 minutes until well risen and spongy. Remove from tin and cool before slicing into bars.
Alternatively spoon into Muffin cases and bake for 20-25 minutes.
Have you tried this with oatmeal / porridge oats and a bit more liquid (to get the oats to stick together) to make flapjacks or breakfast style bars?
Will – No. I have not tried it, but maybe some day soon.
This is a keeper, GM and I will try Will’s suggestion for my gluten free daughter.
