Date & Muesli Slice

• Prep: 10
• Cook: 35 mins
• Serves: 24

Ingredients

• olive or canola oil spray
• 2 apples, core removed, coarsely grated with skin on
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 2 cups date, seeded
• 2 cups natural muesli
• 1/2 cup plain flour
• 1/2 cup wholemeal plain flour
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan forced). 
2. Lightly spray a slice tin (approx. 25x30cm) with oil. 
3. Add apple, water, margarine and dates to a small saucepan and bring to the boil. 
4. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for a further 5 minutes until the apple is soft. 
5. Cook uncovered for a further 5 minutes and stir occasionally until mixture thickens to a paste-like consistency. 
6. While apple and date mixture is cooking, place muesli in a large frypan.  Stir over low heat for 5 minutes until lightly browned. 
7. Sift flours into a large bowl, returning husk remaining in the sieve to the bowl. 
8. Add cinnamon and muesli to the flours and mix to combine. 
9. Stir into the date mixture then spoon into prepared tin. 
10. Bake for 20 minutes until firm.
11. Cool in tin before cutting. 

Hint
Use wooden or plastic spoon to stir muesli so your frypan doesn’t get scratched.
