Fruity Medley Slice

I have always loved my mum's Fruit Medley Slice and since I can't have condensed milk, malt biscuits, malted milk powder, or the shop-bought packets of fruit medley (due to preservatives), which are all in her original recipe, I have been searching for a slice that will fill this craving. Finally I have found various recipes of which I can take bits and pieces from to form my own, healthier and more allergy-friendly slice!

Base
1 cup Spelt Flour
1/2 cup rapadura sugar
1/2 cup organic dessicated coconut
125g organic butter-melted

Preheat oven to 180C. Sift flour, add sugar and coconut and mix well. Stir in melted butter. Press well into a greased and lined slice tray. Bake 25-30 minutes until brown and crisp. Let this cool completely before adding fruit mixture.

Topping
1 cup chopped organic apricots
1 cup organic shredded coconut + extra for dusting
1 1/2 cups organic sultanas
4-5 Tablespoons Home-made Coconut Condensed Milk (see below)

Mix fruit together. Add 4 tablespoons of home-made coconut condensed milk and mix. Add extra if mixture has not all combined together and coated lightly. Spoon onto base and press down firm, but not too hard that the base breaks. Place in fridge for several hours before cutting into slices. Store in the fridge, or freeze and eat frozen if you find the slice is too chewy or the topping falls off the base. Lastly, ENJOY!!!
