Method

1. Make the apple puree: place 120g peeled, chopped cooking apples in a pan with 1 tablespoon of water and a squeeze of lemon juice. Heat gently with a lid on until soft. 2. Grease bottom and sides of rectangular tin and line with baking paper, greased. 3. Chop the eating apples into 2cm chunks and coat with a little lemon juice to prevent browning. 4. Combine oats, flour, seeds, cinnamon, salt and chopped dates in a mixing bowl and stir to distribute evenly. 5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oil, honey and vanilla. Stir in apple puree. Pour into dry mixture and stir to combine. 6. Add the apple chunks and stir to evenly distribute. Scrape into the tin, spread evenly and press down with a spatula. 7. Bake for 35 minutes at 180 C. 8. Allow to cool to room temperature in the tin, then cut into squares. 9. Can be served still warm with a dollop of Greek yoghurt for pudding.
