Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 4, 180°C, fan 160°C. Line a square 20cm baking tray with baking paper.
  2. Melt the baking spread, sugar and cinnamon in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Cook for 3-4 mins, stirring frequently, until the butter has melted. Stir in the apricots, oats and 50g seeds until well mixed. Stir through the apples.
  3. Spoon into the prepared tray and smooth the top with the back of a spoon. Bake on the middle shelf of the oven for 30-35 mins until lightly golden. Cool for 10 mins in the tray, then use a knife to cut into 12 equal-sized pieces. Cool fully.
  4. Mix the icing sugar with 1-1½ tsp orange juice and a pinch of the zest. Drizzle over the flapjacks and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tbsp seeds.
  5. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Tip: Use gluten-free oats, if required.
