Instructions:

- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the oatcakes are golden brown and slightly crispy.

Tips:
- For a crunchier texture, lightly toast the oats in a dry pan before using them in the recipe.
- Chop the dried apricots finely to ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the oatcakes.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.
- Allow the oatcakes to cool slightly before serving to ensure they hold together well.
