Post by: Slice of Health on September 01, 2012, 12:18:19 pm

This has been a favourite for a long time and I recently converted to thermomix to make it even easier. Original recipe from: http://www.healthyfoodguide.com.au/recipes/2010/may/chocolate-apricot-slice (http://www.healthyfoodguide.com.au/recipes/2010/may/chocolate-apricot-slice)

INGREDIENTS:
150g dried apricots
370g apple sauce
50g cocoa
150g plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 egg
60g milk
100g dark choc chips

METHOD:
Preheat oven 175°, line a slice pan with baking paper
Add dried apricots to TMX - turbo a few times
Add remaining ingredients - 10 sec, reverse, speed 4
Pour into pan and spread evenly
Bake 30 min
Cool in tray, cut into squares

Lozzylooloo -I had heaps of apples so made apple sauce last night and this recipe today. I don't particularly like dried apricots so substituted with 70g dried cranberries (all I had left) plus 90g sultanas (a slight "over pour" but I think it was a good quantity) Used cacao instead of cocoa. Turned out very yummy. Ridiculously good while still warm from oven, very good even when cooled. Because of the darkness of the cacao I would probably decrease cacao slightly next time but very happy and will make this again.

Thermesa - Making a test batch now. Of course I'll need to buy ingredients specially. I'm using milk Choc chips as that is what I had.
Verdict - I think I'll add extra baking powder next time. A touch dense.

Ooh, it certainly does, it looks so moist.  Why oh why is my freezer full of cakes and slices  >:(  I have put the apple sauce on my shopping list though for when I can get my stocks down. Thanks Kulsha.

Your variations sound good Lozzyloo and these days I use spelt flour. Wouldn't mind making my own apple sauce too...

School is having a healthy cake stall for morning tea at their mini relay for life. Making a test batch now. Of course I'll need to buy ingredients specially. I'm using milk Choc chips as that is what I had.
