Some more ideasIf fresh apricots are not in season, replace them with 2 cans of apricots in natural juice, about 410 g each, drained and chopped. Use a little of the drained-off juice to moisten the flapjack topping instead of the orange juice, and sweeten with just 1 tsp honey. * To make a plum or damson muesli tart, flavour the pastry with lemon zest and juice instead of orange. For the filling, use halved and stoned plums or damsons instead of apricots, and poach with 4 tbsp apple juice and ½ tsp ground star anise. Cool, then stir in the honey. For the topping, mix together 45 g (1½ oz) porridge oats, 1 small dessert apple, peeled and coarsely grated, and 15 g (½ oz) each dried cranberries and flaked almonds. Bake as in the main recipe.
Plus pointsApricots are a good source of beta-carotene and some of the B vitamins, and also provide some vitamin C. * Oats are a good source of soluble fibre, which not only helps to reduce high blood cholesterol levels but slows the absorption of glucose in the body, so helping to maintain a steady blood glucose level.
