I love flapjacks and there is nothing quite like a seasonal flapjack to capture the flavours of the season. A couple of weeks ago I shared a Cherry and Mincemeat Flapjack recipe and this week I thought I’d share an Apple and Mincemeat Flapjack recipe, both of which are variations on our original mincemeat flapjack recipe and a great way to use up leftover mincemeat.
Why should we make an Apple and Mincemeat Flapjack?
Aside from being a great way of using up mincemeat, Christmas mincemeat flapjacks are so full of flavour and a flavour combination that most people will like. It’s a great easy festive alternative to mince pies and such a lovely sweet treat to enjoy around Christmas.
Next we’ll be working on a home made chocolate flapjack recipe – it’s nice to lay off the pastry for a while and have oats instead! If you have any tried and tested flapjack recipes do let me know.

I don’t think I’ve ever made a Christmas flapjack. This one sounds delicious. I think we’ll give it a try when we make our mince pies in the run up to Christmas x
