Ingredients

175g (6 oz) Soya margarine
75g (3 oz) caster sugar
75g (3 oz) golden syrup
350g (12 oz) rolled oats
450g (1 lb) eating apples
2 tbsp Demerara sugar

Method

• Pre-heat the oven to 18000°C / 350°F / Gas 4.

• Prepare an 18 x 28 cm (7" x 11") baking tin.

• Peel, core and slice the apples.

• Poach them in a saucepan with a small amount of water and sugar to taste about 2tsps. If you are using cooking apples then you will need to add more sugar.

• Whilst the apples are cooking prepare the oat mixture.

• Put the margarine, sugar and syrup into a large saucepan over a moderate heat until all the ingredients are melted. Stir constantly to prevent sticking.

• Remove the saucepan from the heat and add to the oats.

• Mix well until the oats are evenly coated with the butter syrup.

• Transfer the oat mixture to the prepared tin and press down firmly using the back of a spoon or a palette knife.

• Arrange the poached apples over the top of the oats and then scatter the demerara sugar evenly over the top.

• Bake in the centre of the oven for 25 - 30 minutes, or until it is golden brown.

• Allow to cool for 5 minutes then cut into squares or fingers. Leave them in the tin for a further 10 minutes, then transfer them to a cooling rack.
