Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 160C/320F/gas mark 3.
- Line a 20cm x 20cm (8" x 8") baking tray with parchment paper.
- Combine the unsalted butter, light brown sugar, golden syrup, salt and mixed spice in a saucepan.
- Gently melt all the ingredients together over medium-low heat. There's no need to simmer, just ensure they are fully melted, which takes approximately 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Cut the apricots into small pieces.
- Add the sultanas, chopped apricots and dried cranberries to the oats in a bowl and combine well.
- Combine the oats and dried fruit mixture with the melted ingredients in the saucepan. Stir the ingredients together until everything is fully coated in the melted mixture.
- Spoon the flapjack mixture into the lined baking tin, then use the back of a spoon or a spatula to press it into all the corners and level the top.Optionally, you can place a few extra pieces of dried fruit on the top if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the edges begin to turn a light golden brown. Initially, the top may appear quite buttery, but it will sink into the flapjacks as they cool.
- Allow the tray to sit on a wire rack until the flapjacks have fully cooled. For a quicker cooling process, you can also place the tin in the fridge.
- Then, lift them out using the parchment paper onto a cutting board. Slice into your preferred shape and size using a large, sharp knife.
