Apple and Chocolate Chip Flapjacks

These apple and chocolate flapjacks are more like a museli or granola breakfast  bar, in that they are dry and not sticky or overly sweet.  The sweetness comes chocolate chips and the natural sweetness from the grated apples.   And of course to demonstrate the apple content, I had to press  a few apple slices to the top. 
I am sharing some of these flapjacks with Choclette of Chocolate Log Blog  and Chele of The Chocolate Teapot  for this months We Should Cocoa Challenge.   The theme for November is to create a chocolate dish with the inclusion of apples and it is being hosted by Chele. 

Apple and Chocolate Chip Flapjacks
Makes 6-8 pieces
Ingredients
40g butter
60g soft brown sugar
2 tablespoon golden syrup
225g rolled porridge oats
50g raisins or sultanas
2 small eating apples, grated
 40g chocolate chips
Method
Preheat the oven to Gas mark 6. Lightly grease a baking tin measuring about 8 " by 8". My baking tin measured 8 by 8 inches.
Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in the sugar and golden syrup.
Combine the butter, sugar and syrup with the oats. Stir in the raisins and grated apples and raisins . Spread into the greased baking tin, evenly scatter the chocolate chips then pat down with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until slightly brown. Leave to cool before slicing.

  4. I've made apple flapjacks and chocolate chip flapjacks, but have never thought of combining the too. I don't know why! These look great so I'm certainly noting the concept for next time.
