Baked Apples
with maple flapjack filling
I love this slightly old-fashioned, simple apple-based pudding. My mother used to make this for us growing up, and you can cobble together the filling from whatever dried fruit and nuts you have in the store cupboard. The smell of oats mixing with the butter, maple syrup and spicing is just the thing to lift a grey winter’s day. If you have any leftovers, it’s also great warmed up in the oven for breakfast the following morning. Honey also works as a substitute for maple syrup.
GLUTEN-FREE OPTION: To make this as a gluten-free recipe, make sure you use gluten-free certified oats.
I used Royal Gala apples, and our Shipton Mill pinhead oats (please note these are not gluten-free).
