Snack - Apricot, Honey and Pistachio Flapjack

The addition of the dried apricot and the pistachio makes this classic even more yummy! It is also quite important to use soft light brown sugar, white or golden sugars are too sweet and dark brown sugar is too heavy and makes the flapjack hard (this I found out through trial and error!) but I promise it is worth the extra effort. This is another BBC Good Food recipe I have altered, you can find the original here 

Makes 16 small squares

140g butter
70g soft light brown sugar
2 tbsp honey
175g rolled oats
75g chopped pistachios
140g dried chopped apricots

Melt the butter, sugar and honey together in a large pan on a medium heat
Take off the heat and stir in the oats, pistachios and apricots
Bake at 160 degrees C for 30mins

The original recipe says to bake for 45mins but I have found that it is too long and it makes the flapjack hard instead of soft and chewy, so I recommend 30mins even if you add the additional sugar

Leave to cool for 10mins, then cut into squares and put into an airtight container.

Enjoy!
