Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

200 gram(s) (7oz) plain (all-purpose) flour
1 teaspoon(s) baking powder
1/4 teaspoon(s) salt
200 gram(s) (7oz) unsalted butter, softened
250 gram(s) (9oz) light brown sugar
120 gram(s) (4oz) rolled oats
300 gram(s) (10½oz) apples
4 tablespoon(s) cornflour (cornstarch)
3 teaspoon(s) ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon(s) ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon(s) ground ginger
175 gram(s) (6oz) mixed fruits (or substitute with whatever fruit you like. e.g. apple and cranberries would be awesome too!)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 170℃/325℉/Gas Mark 3, and line a 22 x 31cm (9 x 12½in) tray with baking parchment. Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a large bowl, add the butter and rub together until the consistency of breadcrumbs, then stir in the sugar and rolled oats. If you prefer, you can mix together the dry ingredients with the butter in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, then stir in the sugar and oats by hand. After mixing, press half the mixture into the prepared tray, set aside.
Peel and core the apples, then cut into thin slices and mix together with the cornflour (cornstarch) and ground spices. Place the spice-coated apple slices in lines on the top of the oat mixture in the base of the tray, then sprinkle over the mixed fruit. Spoon the remaining mix over the apples and mixed fruits and press down gently.
Place in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes or until the mixture is golden brown. Allow to cool completely in the baking tray before cutting into slices to serve.
