Instructions
1 Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C and grease and line a 20cm loose-bottomed cake tin with greaseproof paper.
2 Mix together the oats and ground almonds in a bowl.
3 Gently heat the nectar/syrup, tahini and coconut oil to melt, then pour into the dry ingredients and mix well to combine; you want a nice sticky mixture.
4 Place half of this in the bottom of your prepared tin and spread evenly to cover the base.
5 Mix together the apple puree/stewed apples with the mixed spice and chosen sweetener. Carefully spread this over in an even layer, reaching the sides. Sprinkle over the Sheese evenly.
6 Sprinkle over the remaining oat mixture on top to cover completely then carefully push and pack down tightly on top.
7 Bake for 30 minutes, until golden and firm. The important tip here: leave to cool fully before removing from the tin.
8 When cooled, pop the cake out from the tin and cut into 6-8 slices. Sprinkle with extra dried cranberries - now enjoy!
9 Keep any remaining slices in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
