Ingredients

Yield: 9 portions

Short bread base:

200 g Butter, softened
120 g Sugar
40 g Cornstarch
220 g Golden Cloud cake flour
5 ml Vanilla essence

Apple pie filling:

1 tin (410 g) Koo apple slices
100 g Sugar
5 g Cinnamon

Caramel Oats topping:

5 ml Vanilla Extract
90 ml Water
120 g Caster sugar

Method

Caramel:

Mix water and sugar in small pot. Put on medium heat. Do not stir. Once the sugar starts to brown, wait for it to get to a lovely amber golden brown. Pour in cream and vanilla in a steady stream while still mixing until it stops bubbling. Add a pinch of salt.
Once cooled add in Jungle oats.

Apple pie filling:

Mix together KOO apple slices, sugar and cinnamon and set aside.

Shortbread:

Pre-heat oven to 180°C.
In large bowl, beat butter, sugar and vanilla in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment.
Stir in flour and corn starch. (If dough is crumbly, mix in 1 to 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, softened.)
Press into dish/pan to form a 0.5 cm crust.
Pour over apple pie filling and top with caramel oats filling.
Bake for 20-25 min at 180°C.
Once baked cut into slices.
Serve warm slices with a dollop of cream or custard.
