Healthy Apple Crumble Slices
These healthy apple crumble slices are delicious oat bars with a thick layer of cooked apple through the middle. There's no refined sugar and no flour in the recipe, making them a healthy snacking option.
Equipment
- 1lb/450g loaf tin approximately 20 x 10cm
Ingredients
- 2 dessert apples
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 120 g porridge oats
- 50 g butter
- 50 g honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 170 degrees (150 fan oven, 340°F). Line a 1lb loaf tin with baking paper.
- Core and dice the apples and add to a pan with the cinnamon and a tablespoon of water. Place on a medium heat and simmer gently, adding a splash more water if necessary to prevent them from burning onto the bottom of the pan. Cook until soft but not mushy. Drain away any excess liquid.
- Melt the honey and butter in another pan over a low heat. Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in oats. Mix thoroughly.
- Add just over half of the oat mixture to the lined baking tin. Press the mixture down firmly with the back of a spoon, ensuring that it is firmly pressed into the corners of the tin.
- Spread the cooked apple mixture evenly over the oats.
- Add the remaining oat mixture evenly to the top. Press down as much as you can without the apple squeezing out.
- Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes until golden and set. Leave to cool in the tin, then remove and cut into 6 bars.
Notes
- If you'd prefer to use cooking apples, you might need a little extra honey to sweeten them.
- To double the recipe, use an 8 x 8 inch (20 cm square) baking tin. The cooking time will remain the same.
