Apricot and Oat Slice

This apricot and oat slice is fantastic for lunch boxes, perfectly chewy in the center and a little crunchy on the outside.

What you'll need:

3/4 cup chopped dried apricots

1/2 cup water

150 g butter

3/4 cup brown sugar

1 1/4 cups self raising flour

1 cup oats

1 cup white chocolate chips

What to do:

Preheat oven to 180°C. Line baking tin with baking paper.

Place apricots and water in a saucepan, bring to the boil then simmer until liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in butter and brown sugar. Cool slightly.

Sift flour into a bowl. Stir in apricot mixture, oats and white chocolate chips.

Press into prepared tin. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden.

Stand 10 minutes before cooling on a rack. When cold, cut into squares.

Enjoy. x
