Golden Apple Cinnamon Flapjacks Recipes

CINNAMON APPLES

Steps:

• Combine the candies, brown sugar and 2 1/2 cups water in a large saucepan and place over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the candies and sugar have fully melted, about 10 minutes.
• Add the apples and bring to a boil. Cook until the apples are tender but not mushy, about 5 minutes. Remove the apples with a slotted spoon and transfer to a heatproof dish. Allow the syrup to boil for an additional 5 minutes to thicken and intensify. Pour the syrup over the apples and allow to cool. Transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, warm a griddle over medium heat. Butter the griddle and toast the slices of pound cake for about 2 minutes per side, adding more butter as needed.
• To plate, place a piece of pound cake on each plate. Top with a scoop of ice cream and 4 apple slices. Drizzle with additional syrup and garnish with the mint.

EASY APPLE FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°c (160 fan/ Gas 4/ 350F) and line a 20cm square baking tin with baking paper.
• Place the chopped Bramley apples into a saucepan with 2 tablespoons of caster sugar and 1 teaspoon of water. Cook on a low heat for 4-5 minutes, stirring often, until the apple starts to soften. Set aside.
• In another saucepan, melt the butter, sugars and syrup on a low heat for a few minutes.
• Stir in the oats and cinnamon.
• Press half the mixture into a lined baking tin and press down firmly with the back of a spoon.
• Spread over the apples, pressing them down lightly with your hand or a spoon.
• Top the apples with the other half of the flapjack mixture, firmly press it down with the back of spoon and bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.
• Score into bars lightly then allow to cool completely in the tin. I often place the tin in the fridge for an hour to help the flapjack set.

GOLDEN APPLE-CINNAMON FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, and caster sugar in a medium bowl. Mix egg and milk together; add to dry ingredients and stir just until all the lumps disappear.
• Cook finely-chopped apples, sugar, and cinnamon in 1-2 tablespoons melted butter over medium heat in a non-stick skillet until soft. Put into a small bowl, set aside to cool.
• Clean and dry the skillet and place over medium-high heat (you may need to adjust down a little if you have a newer-style range; mine is quite old). Melt butter and, when just starting to foam, drop in spoonfuls of batter and flatten them a little with the spoon. Cook without moving the skillet until holes appear in the surface. Carefully flip and cook another minute to two minutes on the other side until golden brown and gently crisped (or soft, depending on how you prefer your flapjacks).
• Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, the spiced apple sauce, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

CINNAMON-SWIRL APPLE FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• In small bowl, mix topping ingredients with fork until crumbly; set aside until serving time.
• In large bowl, stir together 1 cup Bisquick mix, the egg, milk and vanilla with whisk just until blended. Remove 1/4 cup batter to another small bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon cinnamon until batter is dark. Add cinnamon batter, 1 tablespoon at a time, to remaining vanilla batter, swirling lightly with spoon.
• Heat griddle or skillet over medium-high heat (375°F). Brush with vegetable oil if necessary (or spray with cooking spray before heating). For each pancake, pour about 1/4 cup batter (or desired amount) onto hot griddle. Cook about 3 minutes or until bubbles form on top. Turn; cook other side until golden brown.
• Meanwhile, in small microwavable bowl, microwave pie filling uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes or until warmed.
• Top pancakes with a pat of butter and spoonful of warm pie filling; sprinkle with streusel topping.

APPLE FLAPJACKS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Butter the base of a 20 x 20cm square tin and line with baking parchment. Tip the chopped apples into a small saucepan with 2 tsp water and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 mins until the apples are just soft enough to crush, but there's still a little water left in the pan. If needed, add a little more water and cook the apples for slightly longer. Remove from the heat and crush the apples using a potato masher or a fork to break up slightly, then tip into a bowl and set aside.
• Tip the butter, golden syrup and sugar into the pan and warm through over a low heat until the butter has melted and the sugar has dissolved. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Combine the oats, dried apple and cinnamon, if using, in a large bowl. Tip in the buttery syrup mix and cooked apples, then stir to combine. Tip the flapjack mixture into the prepared tin and press down firmly. Level the surface using a spatula, then bake for 25-30 mins until golden and bubbling at the sides. Leave to cool. Cut into 16 pieces. Will keep in an airtight container for three days.
